Why you need good credit
The main reason is because you are not a millionare. If you want to own your home, or drive a nice car, you will need good credit. In recent years, you must have good credit just to get a good paying job! Most employers will check your credit for executive and security positions.
Many good people have bad credit
You feel you are honest and pay your bills as agreed. Life throws curve balls at us such as layoffs, unemployment, failed business, divorce, and health problems. For some of us, we needed to learn how to live within our means. We have learned our lesson and need a second chance.
