In addition, a purchase using a major credit card or a department store credit card would have provided the consumer with a credit history. Rent-to-own businesses, on the other hand, do not typically cooperate with the credit industry and consequently, even despite a perfect payment record for the goods, the consumer does not develop a credit history from this type of transaction.
