Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be invisible? When it comes to your credit rating, you do not want to be invisible. Being “credit invisible” doesn't necessarily mean you have not had any credit activity; it means that the activity you had was not reported to any of the three major credit bureaus. Without a credit score, it can be challenging to qualify for loans or even credit cards because a lender cannot assess your credit risk.
If your credit score is low, you may be uncertain about whether or not you are eligible for a personal loan from a traditional lender. Having bad credit can prevent loan approval from traditional lenders, but an online personal loan from an alternative lender could be your best option.
One of the most important numbers in your life is your credit score. Do you know what it is? If not, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans are in the dark about what their credit rating is, and the ways it affects different aspects of your life.
If you are one of the millions of Americans with a poor or below-average credit score, have no fear! There are a few ways that could help rebuild your credit score over time. All it takes is a little planning and forethought. We have compiled a list of easy tips to help you get started.
It is not uncommon for people to look at their checking accounts and wonder where all their money has gone. Life is full of expenses, including seemingly small ones that can really add up at the end of the month. Debt can become overwhelming if you find you need a loan to pay back other debts as payday loans or credit card bills. Without a personal finance system in place, it can be really easy to allow your monthly bills to overshadow your income.
It’s simple: The better credit you have, the better your financial life can be.*
On the other hand, if you have poor credit, you could have trouble getting a loan. If you do get one, it may have hidden fees or high interest rates. Having poor credit could make it more difficult to rent an apartment or get a cell phone contract. You may pay higher insurance premiums, too. While you can’t completely fix your credit score overnight, there are some things you can do today to start improving it.
