3 Simple Ways to Avoid Bad Credit

You want to apply for a home loan or a business loan but you’re worried that your credit score isn’t, well, flawless enough to make a good impression on banks. Well, worry not because here are simple ways to avoid a bad score:

1. PAY your bills on time. Better yet, don’t wait for the deadline and pay in advance. The moment you receive your paycheck, set aside an amount to pay for all your credit card bills and loan payments before you even think about going shopping.

2. STEER clear of the limit. If your credit card has a limit of $10,000 dollars, don’t sashay near $9,000 dollars. At the very least, stay under 50% of your total credit card limit. Our tip? Don’t get carried away on your next shopping spree.

3. APPLY for credit cards or loans over a span of time. Don’t apply for credit too quickly, thinking that having many credit cards will give you “experience” and boost your score. However, banks and lenders will only wonder if you’re letting yourself be too involved in multiple debts. They’ll wonder and doubt your ability to make good on payments which will certainly affect your financial reputation.


It’s never easy trying to keep your head above water when there are expenses to face, bills to pay, debts to make good on, and loans to apply for. But when you have a good credit score to back you up, your financial activities may just become a little bit easier. All you have to do is have a shrewd mind for budgeting income and channeling your assets and you’re all good.
