What Even Is Bad Credit?
Most commonly used to describe a poor credit history, the term bad credit usually indicates a greater risk on the lender’s end during the borrowing process. The term is casually used in the industry to classify people into groups of lower creditworthiness. This stems from a system called the credit score system, which is used by several lenders as a metric that helps them decide the risk involved in a particular loan.
At Salad Money, we think that this system is unfair.
We realise that life can be unpredictable and adversity can hit anyone at any time. That’s why, while offering you our More Than Your Score loans we don’t consider your credit score. Instead, we take various influencing factors into account to get the most accurate description of your loan affordability. Committed to helping you deal with the drawbacks of bad credit head-on and rebuilding your credit history?...we’ve got you covered.
Your credit score is calculated by companies based on your credit history, defaults, outstanding debts, and other factors. If it has been observed from your credit history that you have defaulted on loans, making late payments, etc, you may have a low credit score. This will likely affect your ability to get approved for loans and credit cards in the future.
However, the truth is that when it comes to evaluating a person’s creditworthiness, different companies do it using different methods. This means that while your credit history might be bad for some lenders when assessed from a different point of view, it may be good.
That’s where Salad Money comes in.
