Why Is It important!
Your credit is the most important thing you have other than
your breathe. There are three types of people in this world.
There are those who have excellent credit. Those who have OK
credit and those who have bad or no credit. Yes each of the above
individuals has there own trials to deal with. Let us start by
defining what each of the above can and can not do.
Someone with excellent credit can get away with literally
anything. The will get approved for new loans, they will get
approved for a new car and even a business line of credit. The
sky is the limit. The only thing they are lacking is the know-how
to go along with the credit. Once they know how to tap into these
sources, anything is possible.
A person with good to OK credit are on the border line. The
may not always get approved for loans, business lines of credit
and/or car loans. For such people it is a bit harder to get the
thing they need because of what is on their crdit report. Here is
a list of somethings that may decrease your credit score. Too
many inquirees on you credit within a short time spand (usually
12 in 6 months). Late payment of bills and credit cards. Identity
theft and many more. That is why it is important to obtain a copy
of your credit report at least once a year. You must then Review
it and clear up any thing that does not belong to you.
A person(s) with Bad or no Credit are in the same shoes.
Having bad Credit is the same as having no credit. A person with
bad credit will have to work three times as hard to get approved
for a loan. The person(S) with no credit will have to put up some
securities to get the loan. These securities can be in the form
of cash (known as a secured loan). Other securities is a lien on
somthing of value like a home or a car. After establishing or
restablishing credit, It becomes easier for the individual to get
credit without any securities.
To keep your credit in good standards, one must constantly pay
all bills on time or before time. Then you must pay more than the
minimum due to keep your balances on the decline. Do not co-sign
for anyone other than your spouse. Review your credit report and
challenge anything that is not related to you.
You can visit the National Credit Service on line and get up
to date information on this matter. Each Town is different. Check
your Municipal office for details.
