  1. Another thing I’ve noticed is always that for many people, a bad credit score is the reaction to circumstances over and above their control. As an example they may happen to be saddled having an illness and because of this they have large bills going to collections. Maybe it’s due to a job loss or perhaps the inability to go to work. Sometimes separation and divorce can really send the funds in an opposite direction. Many thanks for sharing your opinions on this blog.
