The Cost of Credit

Today we will take a look at the difference excellent credit makes versus less than perfect credit. Less than perfect credit can still get you approved for specific loans, but at what cost? Excellent credit on the other hand can save you thousands of dollars in as little as a year and ultimately over the lifetime of the loan. Many consumers are unaware of just how much less than perfect credit can cost in the long run.

 

Meet our fictional characters Eddie, Greg and Andy:

 Edward Eddie has an excellent credit score rating falling in the range of 720-850. Having an excellent credit score, Edward will qualify for some of the best offers and interest rates available.

 

 Frank Greg has a good credit score rating falling in the range of 690-719. Having a good credit score, Gregory will qualify for lines of credit at decent interest rates.

 

 Paul Andy has an average credit score rating falling in the range of 630-689. Andrew has been having some trouble with his finances and his credit score has consequently been affected. Andrew out of the three consumers will qualify for lines of credit, but at less desirable interest rates as he is seen as a bigger risk.
