Introduction: A lot of us rely on different types of loans in order to get certain things. We take out loans for our homes, cars and other items. With this, there is indeed a huge possibility wherein we can get bad credit. Getting bad credit is not just because of irresponsibility when it comes to payments. There may be other situations that may disable you to make payments for the meantime, but here are general tips for you to avoid bad credit.
Things You'll Need: debit cards, proper budgeting, a good perspective, a pre-plan
Step 1. Make a plan. Create a budget containing all your necessities and teach yourself to stick to your budget. You may come across things that you want to buy, but if they're not on your list, then don't purchase them unless there is a dire need to do so.
Step 2. Don't apply for a credit card. There are a lot of things that you can do with a credit card, and unfortunately, that involves unrestrained shopping. This can lead to a lot of debt in the long run, and can cause bad credit history for you.
Not having a credit card limits the possibility of you spending more than you can afford. If safety is your concern (if you don't want to bring cash, for example), then get a debit card or a prepaid card. This way, you only get to spend what you have and you don't have to deal with bank bills each month. Just make sure that your debit account is a separate one from your savings account. This way you won't end up spending all your savings should you be tempted to make purchases.
Step 3. In case you really need a credit card, get something with a low limit, and pick a bank that offers the lowest interest rates.
Step 4: Stick with mortgage loans. As much as possible avoid getting more than one loan especially if the money loaned is set aside for unnecessary things. Fast loans for example may seem really attractive however in the long run problems may arise. A good tip for buying the things you want is to save up for it.
Step 5. If you suffer from any illness, injury or if you come across any situation that may render you jobless for awhile, don't default on your payments just yet. Visit your creditors directly and talk to them about your situation. Of course, most of these companies would be happy to make arrangements for you.
Tips:
Monthly bills should be paid on time. If you can afford to pay more than the minimum payment, do so. Be observant of your spending. It will always help if you keep track on it all the time.
Warnings: A credit check can lower your credit rating, so don't sign up for anything that requires you a credit check. - 29904
