If someone says you have bad credit,they mean you have a poor credit score. Generally people are given a poor credit score for having a bad credit record. This can be attributed to not paying on loans, home mortgages, bills, or services, or submitting these payments past their due date. To financial institutions, people with poor credit scores are considered high risk, and it can be very difficult for these people obtain a reasonable rate on a secured loan. A question that is often asked by “high risk” borrowers: Is it a smart idea to apply for a car loan if I have a bad credit rating?
