What is considered bad credit?
So if you’re wondering whether or not you would fall under the category of having “bad credit,” let’s discuss a few of the factors. For example, one red flag for many lenders will be an absence of credit history. If you’ve never taken out a loan or opened a credit card, it could lead to your application for traditional financing being denied.
That said, simply having a credit history isn’t always enough. Factors that could negatively affect your credit report include:
- missed payments
- poor debt/credit ratio
- credit inquiries
- foreclosure
- bankruptcy
- closing credit cards
The effect these examples may have on your credit may vary, but those are just a few things that could harm your credit score. But what is considered a poor credit score anyway?
Since there are different scoring models for credit, there is no single point where decent credit becomes bad credit. A good rule to keep in mind, however, is that if your score Is below 600 (or even low 600s), you’re probably entering into poor credit score territory.
