If your credit score is low (perhaps through defaulting on previous loan agreements or failing to pay credit cards on time) - it signifies to anyone who searches your credit history - that you are a high risk. People who are high risk debtors are more likely to be refused future credit (or only offered high interest credit) - until they can prove they are more disciplined in managing their debts.
