How do you get bad credit?

Tuesday September 16, 2008

Defaults or overdue accounts can end up on your credit file in a variety of ways. These include:

  • Not paying bills on time.
  • Having utilities cut off.
  • Having assets (such as your car) repossessed.
  • Exceeding credit card limits.
  • Defaulting on previous loans.

This information stays on a credit file for up to seven years, so this could limit credit applications.
