credit score

I've never been to get my credit score.

I hear people talk about it and see it referred to in advertising, but I wonder if it really is important to know your credit score. I mean, although I don't know my actual credit score, I know my credit is good. We pay our bills and are nearly never late on them. We don't use credit cards. And if we do find that we have to, we pay them off as soon as possible. We don't have any outstanding loans, other than our mortgage. Isn't that the best way to make sure you have good credit?

That I'd like to see.
