Bad Credit
Bad credit can happen to the best of us. A series of financial
events can take place to hinder our ability to pay our debt. A
loss of a job or several high paying emergencies, whether it be
health related or due to car and house repairs, can put one
behind in making payments.
Many times people will ignore their late due payment notices for
loans which can be the worst possible thing to do. Most of the
time when you notify your bank or lender and tell them of the
your financial situation, they are willing to work with you.
Some banks will set up a payment plan that will work better for
you until you are back on your feet. Some will allow you to make
payments only on the interest of a loan and not the pricipal for
several months or whatever you may be able to work out with the
financial institution. But ignoring notices tells the bank
exactly what you don't want them think, that you don't care
about paying back your debts.
Don't let pride get in your way of asking for help. Financial
institutions, for the most part, want to help when you are in a
money bind. Allow them to work with you on a payment plan that
will suit both your needs.
