If you have a reseasonably good record of credit. Even if you were between jobs, but made every effort to pay off your debts this would look good on your record. If you constantly missed payments and made no attempt to pay them off your chances aren't good. If you have collateral and it isn't used for a loan then you could use that collateral to get your loan. Banks love to make one feel that if they have a lousy credit rating that they won't loan them money for something small such as a car, but the opposite is true. Cars are easy turn-overs, so banks can make money of them. A house is harder for banks to deal with. Credit cards companies in especially the U.S. and Canada just LOVE to have people sign up, spend like there is no tomorrow and they make plenty of money off missed payments. Most people never stop to figure out the percentage on their credit cards (they may know the %) but when they see their balance and then they start to add up the interest building on that balance it's mind boggling and it's tough for people to get out of credit card debt. Something else most people don't know, they can haggle with the credit card company to lower their rate of interest in order to pay that debt off. Go to your bank manager and see what they can do for you. If you have a poor credit rating and haven't paid off all your bills and a loan company practically ties you down to sign that contract for a loan to get a car, run fast and hard! They know that you can't really afford it and 9 chances out of 10 they'll take the car back if you miss payments. Also, their interest rates are much higher than banks. Good luck Marcy

Is there such a thing as a good debt?

Unfortunately debt can never be a good thing as such. Having a credit record or some sort of record that shows you have been able to pay your debts in the past will hugely count in your favor when applying for a loan or a bond etc. The fact of the matter is that one should always avoid excessive debts and aim to buy only with the money you have. Consult a debt counsellor when struggling with debt.
