Best Answer

Most people know that your credit report history can affect the rates you pay for mortgages and auto loans. Few people, however, are aware of how your credit history can affect employment. The majority of employers conduct a background check on their applicants and many screen for credit history. This used to be prevalent only in the financial sector, but it is a now widespread practice. A poor credit report history may signal to an employer that you are not trustworthy, are unable to manage money and may compromise the company. Before applying for a job, it is helpful to get a copy of your credit report history.

How does having bad credit affect my mortgage payments?

If you have bad credit you will not only have a hard time getting a loan, but you will be charged a higher APR. As a result, your mortgage payment will be higher than if you had good credit. If you already have a home mortgage, having bad credit will not affect it. If you have bad credit and go to get a mortgage, you run a risk of being denied a loan until bad debts are taken care of and even then you may have a higher rate.
