The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website – with no identity verification (for now at least)

    Congratulations, you paid off your credit card debt. As a result your credit score just dropped, good luck on getting that mortgage approved.

      Europe exists with neither of these problems. You can get a credit card if you want but loads of people don’t. From a low effort search it actually looks like most people in almost all European countries don’t have one. Few exceptions like Norway but even there you have a very significant minority without one.

      UK here and I bought a house without ever having a credit card or worrying or knowing what a credit rating is.

          Not saying it doesn’t exist. But its easy to go through live without ever giving a shit about it. Been working for me so far even when deeply below poverty wages. Now I am between UK minimum and median wage so shits easy.

        Credit Score it does vary tbh in whether they care about it

        Like just to rent a place I had to have good credit score here in Scotland, but when I lived in England they didn’t care as long as I paid them

      fortunately, posting that Donald Trump is a pedophile rapist online doesn’t tank your credit score.

      try speaking out about China online and see what happens.

      personally, I’ve been harassed enough to know I should never visit China.
