Land Ownership.
Really, it all boils down to the land were people could grow their own food and build their own place to live, having been taken from the Commons and made property of just some people.
We aren't born free unless we're born from very wealthy parents, so we're forced to do work for others merelly to have food on our plates and a roof over our heads: we can't just grab a piece of land and do the work ourselves in there to raise said food and build said roof and must instead first, and at minimum, work for others within a system not of our design to get our hands on the required value tokens needed to acquire said land.
Credit Scores is just a modern artifact of the increasingly complex architecture that structurally forces most of us to be servants of others without the use of direct cohertion (so that we can be swindled into believing we have free choice), which was built up from that foundation in ages past when the land was taken away from most of our ancestors and which is kept going by all manner of laws, not only those codifying and enforcing land ownership but even those which make asset ownership yield far more income than work (thus making land owners and other owners have a vast advantage in acquiring value tokens over the servants who have to work for them).
