The cost of a bad credit report.

The cost of a bad credit report can be measured in two ways.

#1. Your bank account feels it every month.

Your credit score determines the rate you pay on everything you finance. Higher rates = higher payments. Your insurance rates are also higher if you have bad credit. Depending on your lifestyle you may be throwing away hundreds or even thousands of dollars every month in interest payments. Think how much faster you could get ahead if you stopped the financial bleeding.

#2. It affects your options and limits your choices.

You might be turned down for home or auto loans. You might not qualify to rent the apartment you wanted. You might not get the job you want.

It's like dragging a ball and chain behind you as you go through life. The worse your credit is the heavier the ball is. Don't just work hard to carry the ball, work hard at cutting it free.
