The Cost of Bad Credit
The cost of having bad credit can be devastating. Having bad credit can cost you the opportunity to qualify for that home you have always wanted. These days your FICO score is just as much attached to you as your social security number. There is not much you can do without having A+ credit. It can prohibit you from getting many loans, credit cards, good insurance rates and who knows what else the future will require you to have as far as your FICO score is concerned.
The table below demonstrates how your credit score can impact a $150,000 30 year fixed home mortgage:
