Having a low credit score hurts your bank account in more ways than you might have known. 
National Credit Care did a study and discovered that people with low credit scores paid on average $200 more per month for auto financing than those with top tier credit.
Let’s look at how much more your car costs based on the financing terms:
$200 per month x 60 months = $12,000 more for the car
$200 per month x 36 months = $7,200 more for the car
How does that make you feel to pay $12,000 more than the last customer, all because of that three-digit score called FICO score or credit score?
What could you do with that extra $7,000 to $12,000 if you weren’t shelling it out in interest to the wealthy finance company?
But that’s not all!
On top of paying more in financing, you also pay a higher insurance premium for having a low score — even if you have a perfect driving record.
That’s right! Insurance companies also check credit scores as part of their determination on how much to charge you for insurance.
And don’t get me started on credit card interest rates…! I’ll save that for another article.
Take control of your credit! Review and repair. Even if you can’t fix everything, you can raise your score and keep more of your hard-earned money in your own pocket.
I don’t know about you, but I can think of a lot things to do with $7,200 to $12,000! Grab

If you know someone who is thinking of buying an automobile, please pass on this information to them, because no one needs to throw away good money on higher interest rates.
Thank you!
