Does loans from finance companies hurt your credit score?
The key to financial power lies in your credit rating. If you plan to get a home loan, save money and get better credit starting now!
YES. At least it's possible. One of the "reason codes" that the scoring systems use is "too many finance company accounts".
That can be triggered with one account. Whether or not you see it, depends on if it's one of the top 4 reasons your scores aren't 850.
Finance companies issue high-risk, unsecured loans, at sky-high rates. It's pretty much a safe assumption that anyone taking money from a finance company has been denied getting a normal credit card, and is likely to be desperate. It's also likely that accepting a finance company loan is a precursor to future defaults, so merely by borrowing that money, you're taking a big step towards falling down financially. It's a factor in scoring for a reason: in reviewing their millions of files, people with finance company accounts default more than people without them.
So consider that before taking the loan. What are you using it for? To pay off and consolidate other debts? will you reuse those cards you just paid off, and increase your debts again? then what? If you're borrowing money at 25% interest, it had better be for a good reason.
