You may be wondering what it means to have a bad credit score. First you should understand what your credit score is.

Your credit score is generated from your credit report. It’s a number that is derives from your credit history as displayed on your credit report.(http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/110614/whats-difference-between-credit-score-and-credit-history.asp)

Personal Details Including:

• Date of birth;
• Your employment past and present;
• and your address past and present

Credit History

This is a list of all the loans or credit you’ve ever applied for. It also includes any defaults or credit infringements that you’ve had in the past. Some have expiration dates so if you’re applying for a loan 10 years after you’ve had a horrible credit infringement it most likely won’t impact your score.

Other Information

This includes bankruptcies, which stay on your report for 7 years; and court judgments and debt and personal insolvency agreements, which stay on your report for 5 years.

Your credit report and, therefore, your credit score gives lenders to an indication of your financial past, but it doesn’t have to be your present. We find lenders that can look at more than just your credit score. They can look at your current relationship with money too. So, if you have bad credit, don’t fret, simply apply today and we’ll see how we can help you.

What affects credit scores?

Your credit score can be affected by a variety of factors. These include

• Defaults
• A default is an overdue or unpaid debt. A consumer default in Australia is equal to $150 or more. This means if you owe $150 or over to either your telco or utility provider and don’t pay within 60 days you will have a default on your credit report.
• Borrowing History
• Your borrowing history will be on your credit report. This means if you’ve taken out loans previously (such as a car loan) it will be on your credit report and therefore impact your credit score.
• Loan Repayments
• Your loan repayments affect your credit score. If you have paid your other loans promptly then this will positively impact your score. If you haven’t paid loan repayments on time in the past this will therefore negatively impact your score.
• Bill Repayments
• If you have a history of not paying your utility bills, phone bills or any other type of credit arrangement on time this can impact your credit score. This means by a week or so, rather than the 60 days like a default. If that has happened once or twice don’t stress, however, if it is a semi-consistent to consistent thing it will impact your score.
• Credit Cards
• Credit cards are a double-edged sword. They can be a way to easily boost your credit score and/or prove that you are reliable. However, they can also severely damage your credit history if you’ve been lax in paying your credit card bill.

You can apply for a loan with bad credit, it will just impact what types of loans you are eligible for. Luckily many lenders offer bad credit loans specifically. This means that they can help sort you out and get you on the road to receiving that money that you need.
