Good credit vs. bad credit: What is the difference?
Some people have experienced good credit and then end up getting bad credit due to life situations, for example, illness, death, divorce, layoff, etc. If you have had good credit and fell into bad credit, there is still hope! It can take a person 6-24 months to fix their credit to get back to good credit.
Good credit vs. bad credit TERMS
Good credit terms are usually rates that you see advertised at banks and credit card companies. Some terms that are offered is ‘No payments or no interest' for those who have good credit.
Bad credit terms are not advertised and can be 2-5% higher that what is usually advertised. For example, a bank may advertise a mortgage for 5.5% interest rate. Once they run your credit, you find out that you don't qualify for that interest rate and your interest rate is actually 8.5%
