Bad Credit

Bad Credit is a credit rating term. If you've defaulted on a loan or missed a credit card payment, for example, you can easily be labelled as a bad credit risk by financial companies. This can make it more difficult to arrange loans or other finance, and usually means you will pay more interest on any loan you take out.
