How can you build and protect your credit rating?
You can build your rating by making sure you pay bills on time. Unfortunately, if you don't have a bank/building society account or credit/store cards or pay utility bills, it is virtually impossible to build a credit rating. Having said that, if you pay utility bills, even on prepayment meters, your details are "logged" with credit reference agencies and you have a rating. If you fall behind with payments it can take up to 7 years to repair the "bad" rating as that is how far back the complete record goes.
Will late payments to utility companies such as electric gas etc from 7 years ago affect your credit ratings or credit checks?

When you settle on a credit card bill how does it effect your credit rating?
Credit card bills affect the credit rating in that the late payments will show on the report and points will be counted against you. Once you have paid, make certain that the three credit reporting companies note that it has been paid; eventually the account will age and become a positive for you. This is since it will show available credit that you are not using.

How can you remove delinquent utility bills from your credit report?
