This is great information. I'd always assumed individuals needed a credit card to build a strong credit-score, despite the fact that the most fiscally responsible people I know never use them. Also, it's so strange credit bureaus don't collect payment information unless your're late paying a bill. You'd think they would like consumer's credit scores to be as accurate as possible.
