Most lenders will not give credit to anyone that has no credit history. The reason is that we are expected to establish a credit line when we are teens, and if we do not the lenders are often suspicious. The lenders do not have an idea and can only base their judgments of you on assumptions. 

Can I assume this person will make monthly payments on time? 

Has this person taken for granted a loan from a friend or family member in the past and there are no records available for me to see if it is true? 

There are many reasons that lenders will refuse you a loan if you do not have a credit history. The best solution is starting up a line of credit now, pay off your dues on time and avoid making purchases on items you do not really need. Staying out of debt means regulating your money each month and paying your bills on time.

Building credit can lead to despair if you do not know where to get started. Creditors come in all forms and some of them are out to take you for a road, so this alone makes the struggle increase. If you have bad credit or no credit then you know how difficult it is to get ahead. Sometimes it may seem the more you try the harder it gets. In fact, this is sometimes true simply because too many people lack knowledge when it comes to building or repairing credit.
