What Is Bad Credit?
If you have been turned away from banks in
the past, you probably know what "subprime" means. Lenders call you
"subprime" if you have a credit score below 669 according to the
FICO
Score Range. The lower your credit score, the fewer chances
you
have to be approved for a loan in a bank or get it at safe, low
rates. Borrowers with bad credit are considered potential risk as
they may have difficulties repaying the money.
The term "bad credit" has its clear
value. According to the FICO Score Range, lenders use the following
ranking of credit score types:
- Between 300 and 579: Very Poor;
- Between 580 and 669: Fair/Bad;
- Between 670 and 739: Good;
- Between 740 and 799: Very Good;
- Between 800 and 850: Exceptional.
Members with low income and poor or bad
credit scores are more likely to be in need but usually don't get
financial support from banks or traditional financial institutions.
