How can i have bad credit when i don't own a credit card?

Your credit rating is assessed by companies on your past history of paying back money you have borrowed. People that have never borrowed money will not have a recognised rating. As far as companies are concerned this is considered a poor risk and you may be classed as having a 'bad' credit rating.

What does it mean to pay interest on a loan or credit card?

Paying interest on a loan or credit card means that you are charged a fee for borrowing money. This fee is a percentage of the amount you borrowed and is added to your total repayment amount.


My husband cosigned for my 2nd mortgage and he is not on the first mortgage. if we have the same lender for both mortgages and we quit paying on the first mortgage how fast will his credit be impacted?

Since he is not listed as a borrower on the first mortgage his credit is not affected by paying or not paying that mortgage. Even if both loans are with the same company, he is only held responsible for the loan in which he signed.


When paying a settlement is the credit score different if the credit report states 'paid' 'paid in full' or 'settled for less than original amount'?

yes, the credit score is affected. The people pulling your credit look at it this way, they want to know if you paid back what you borrowed with no problems, if there was a problem, or if they settled on a different amount, which means they took a loss. What would you rather see if you pulled a credit report on someone?

Does being the co-owner of a car give you credit?

Not necessarily. It is possible to co-own a car, be on title, and not have borrowed money for the vehicle. Credit history is established when you borrow money. It is a record of how you have paid the money back. If you purchased a car with someone else by paying one lump sum, and never borrowed; then co-owning would not have established any credit history for you.
