Does having bad credit make you a bad driver?
Does having bad credit make you a bad driver?
-not necessarily. I had some credit problems about ten years ago after a
combo of divorce, lost job/lost insurance, and medical problems -- very good
credit to very bad credit back to very good agaion eventually-- but i
haven't had accident or ticket of any kind for almost 30 years now. no
relationship between the two.
-In your situation much was out of your control, but in most cases I
have noticed that people with bad credit are people who don't manage
life issues well. Meaning, a simple proactive stance on fixing things
as they arrise will prevent bad credit, if you are attuned to not
acting on problems, then any person underwriting your driving habits
has to question what would you do if an driving issue arrises.
Example, you get a speeding ticket, or your your car needs to be
registered again
credit checks are typical if you want anytype of clearance for
security or advancement in sensitivie positions in large companies.
They do matter to those who care.
