It can if you don't keep an eye on how much money you use.
Checking accounts are not normally reflected on a credit report.
If you owe NOTHING, it will not hurt your credit but may still prevent you from opening a checking account for up to 5 years.
Your credit history is what is important. If you are overdrawn or have been over drawn many times and the bank is charging you penalties it will hurt your chances of getting a credit card. If you have a credit line that protects your checking account like I do you just start drawing on that and it won't hurt your credit report.
no. You will hurt your credit when you close an open line of credit.
It will not affect your credit if you pay off the balance when you close the account.
Actually, it does. It uses the available credit you have so when that goes down the credit score does too.
yes
It most likely will not hurt your credit to much, When you apply for credit it shows as an inquiry on your credit report. To many inquiries is bad. And opening an account and closing it right after shows instability to your credit report and it sticks there for 7 years.
Normally if a bank closes your account they will report you to chexsystems, telecheck, or early warning services. If the account is charged off, it may be turned over to a collection agency and in turn it could hurt your credit. It will also prevent you from opening a new account easily
NO! Not if you have paid the credit off before you get another one. Or if you are paying one credit card off with another, you can only do that so much befor it will hurt your cerdit.
Is the doctor going to turn the account over to a collection agency? A collection account would hurt your credit. Is the collection agency going to sell the account to another agency, thus extending the time period it shows on your credit report? If they do, it could hurt your credit for an even longer period of time.
No, you're using your own money.
