No. You shouldn't get loans if you believe in credit scores.
Whether you should get a loan depends on its purpose, affordability, your attitude to credit, the rates you can get, alternative options and so on.1 -
It's the wrong question to ask.
The question should be can I honestly afford the repayments or not?1
