Top 3 Bad Credit Decisions
by Steve Cypher on Friday, April 4th, 2008Here at Auto Credit Express, we’d like to share with you the top 3 reasons many of our customers run into credit problems…
Paying bills late
Late payments will negatively impact your FICO score in a big way. If you can’t pay all your bills on time, prioritize them and work from the top down.
Maintaining high credit card balances
Lenders don’t like to see credit card balances maxed out. In fact, it’s a good idea to only use 30% or less of your credit line. If you are using more than that, and especially if the balance remains high, banks see it as a red flag that you have too much debt.
Multiple credit applications within a short time
If you apply multiple times for the same type of loan within a short time frame, the credit bureaus look upon this as one instance. But if you apply for different types of credit at the same time, it could lower your credit score.
