Answer by pivotalperson111
its not bad credit ..in a way .. it gets reported to chex systems and it stays on there for years .. even if the amt owed is paid off .. so youll still get loans for cars or houses but most banks wont let you open an account with them if you have check systems on your report.

Question by Kim H: I have bad credit and am desperate to find an apartment in Mass?
I am currently going through a divorce and one of the main reasons I am divorcing my soon to be ex is that he has ruined me financially. My house is foreclosing and I need to find an apartment between Dighton, Ma and Bridgewater, Ma. Here’s my problem. My credit since I have been married is terrible. I am very dependable and have been at the same job for almost 8 years. I can provide personal and professional references and pay a few months rent in advance if need be. What can I do? People with bad credit have to live somewhere, right? Help.. I don’t want to end up homeless. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

Question by JayRust: How can I get a credit card with rewards when I have bad credit?
Hi. My wife and I both have terrible credit, and are looking for a credit card with rewards such as cash back or sky miles. We use our visa cards that are tied into our checking accounts so much that it is a waste to not get rewards, but it is hard to get rewards with bad credit. Any advise?

One 30 day late can reduce your score by 50 to 100 points

A credit score is a number generated by a mathematical formula that is meant to predict credit worthiness. The most common of the credit score standards is the FICO score by Fair Isaac. The FICO score ranges from 350-850 and is intended as a predictor of whether or not you will be 90 days late on a loan obligation. Fair Isaac uses thousands of credit reports to calibrate the FICO scoring model and is very secretive of the exact formula.

Here is a percentage breakdown of a FICO score:

35% – Payment History
30% – Debt Ratio
15% – Length of Credit History
10% – Types of Credit
10% – Number of Credit Inquiries
Most people are aware of the three credit reporting agencies TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. The average difference in score between the highest and lowest of your three FICO scores is 60 points. This is the result of each of the credit bureaus having different items on their report. some correct, some incorrect and some that are not being reported in full compliance with credit law.

Pull yourself Out of your Debts With Bad Credit Loans

The news is official. More and more people in UK are sinking in the quicksand of debts. More and more people are filing for bankruptcy. Essentially, bad credit is the bad thing that happens when someone spends beyond his/her means.

If you are under bad credit, there is a way out. Bad credit personal loans are especially meant for those fraught with the financial problem of bad credit. Bad credit personal loans are customised personal loans to help you pay out the bad debts or for any other personal purpose. A bad credit record may involve Country Court Judgements (CCJs), arrears, defaults and finally, bankruptcy.

Bad credit loans can give you solace in such adverse situations. With bad credit, one may be tempted to think that not many lenders are willing to provide unsecured bad debt personal loans, but there is hope if you do not give up on researching the market. By searching online, you can save a lot of your precious time and energy. You’ll be surprised to find attractive deals suited to your purpose and with deft negotiation, you can get the loan that serves you best. In any case, the rates of interest on repayment are, as a rule, higher than secured loans. On the other hand, secured bad credit personal loans allow you more flexible repayment at much lower overall rate of interest. This can give you enough time to tie loose ends up, without making too large a hole in your pocket.

Even in bad credit personal loans there are different types of loans available, like bad credit tenant loans, bad credit debt consolidation loans, and bad credit home-owner loans. The best thing to do here is to compare the different loans and choose the one which offers nearest to what you expect. Do your research before availing the loan.
