What is Bad Credit?

Bad credit, typically referred to as subprime credit or poor credit, can be caused, and influenced, by a number of factors. Although the three main credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion have different qualifications, the typical estimated ranges are below:

  • Excellent credit: 740 to 850
  • Good credit: 680 to 740
  • Acceptable credit: 620 to 680
  • Subprime credit: 550 to 620
  • Poor credit: 300 to 550

Things that can affect your credit rating can include, but are not limited to, late or missed payments with a creditor, bankruptcy, foreclosure or defaulting on a loan, little or no credit history, too much existing debt, or having no assets that could serve as collateral.
