The Cost of your Credit Score
It is time for us to dig in and learn about how our credit scores affect us. Our credit score is a very important 3 digit number. Some of us actually have no idea what our score is. Sure we know that if our score is too "low," it's possible we will have difficulty getting a mortgage, automobile loan, credit card or any other kind of loan. These are the "biggies." We must increase our understanding of our score and the possibly unknown effects of a poor score.
When you are a "credit risk," you will be paying higher interest rates, if you can get credit at all. For example, if you mortgage a home for an interest rate higher than the norm, over the course of that loan, you will be paying thousands of dollars more in interest.
In addition to the "normal" loans we all know about, the credit score can affect you in a number of ways that you may never have thought about. Now is the time to learn about these areas.
When you apply for car insurance, the companies will utilize a credit profile for writing the policy. It seems that Homeowner's insurance companies have decided that, if you have poor credit, you will probably make more claims. So, up go the rates. Now you can start to realize that our credit profile is becoming more influential in our lives.
A very large concern is our health care and life insurance. Credit profile is again important. When people are unable to keep up the payments for these insurances, insurance company costs rise and so do our rates. Again, poor credit can be affecting these rates.
A person can be denied employment if a prospective employer runs a credit check and finds a low score. It's likely that many people are unaware of this possible cost of poor credit.
Our country is having a credit crisis. It will be more difficult than ever to get credit. Therefore, if you credit score is low and you are a "credit risk," you need credit repair. You may be in for a negative surprise so you need to get to work.
Now is not the time to ignore our whole financial situation. Keeping in mind what our poor credit may be costing us, now is the time to fix it.
