How can poor credit score affect you?
By cooldude | January 27, 2012
A low credit score may not be an individual’s fault but it can affect him/her very adversely in many conditions. One can be refused loans for buying a house or simply banks may not give one the credit card he/she had applied for. It simply indicates that the person’s credit score is not high enough for financial institutions to take a risk by lending them money. Credit score suffers or goes spiraling down when one does not pay back the debt incurred in the return time.
The overall credit score is affected by the amount of unpaid credit one has, the number of times one has borrowed money from banks, whether one pays bills on time, the types of loans one has previously taken from financial institutions and a lot of other factors too. In the long run, a bad credit score may result in denial of credit cards from banks and higher interest rates than other people with higher credit scores.
