It is a common misconception that if you do not have any plan to get a big loan in the next few years, you probably need not be concerned about your credit scores.This is not actually the case.Regardless of whether you have any plan to get a big loan or not,it is advisable that you must keep your credit record free of inaccuracies.You might know that your loans will be affected by your credit score. The higher the score the lower the rate you will get on mortgages, car loans and credit cards. What if you do not have any plan to get a mortgage or car loan? In this case, does your score matter?

Prospective Employers:

Employers,while making decisions about your hiring,firing and promotion, may make inquiries into your credit report.If you have bad credit score then it is most likely to leave a bad impression on your employer and may affect your career.

Federal law gives you protection against the adverse decisions that the employer may make against you. You will be immune to such adverse decisions only if you file bankruptcy (Title 11, Bankruptcy, of the U.S. Code), otherwise every other negative item may be used against you. If you are a loan defaulter or you have missed a payment of your loan then this puts you in a vulnerable position. In this case the employer can use that information against you. It is known that government runs routine background checks on your personal records like criminal history and credit history. If you have a low credit score then this may weaken your position. Such a person could be considered a potential security risk because, due to his financial constraints, he is more likely to be bribed or may easily be exploited. Credit history information may help establish the credibility of a person.

I tell you a story of my childhood friend who also accepted debt like many of other people. Almost seven to eight years ago, he was enjoying his music career which was on the peak that time. As it is in the cycle of life, time changed and somehow he lost his job. He tried to find another job but even at that time the job opportunities in music were very less.

Then he decided to switch off to a teaching job in school. He was selected as an assistant to some professor and began to earn 9.75 dollars per hour. That account for a dramatic decrease in his income. On the other hand, he had no health insurance, no savings, and even could not pay his rent. He was using the money of his retirement account and was using credit card. After three years, luckily he got a good job in Northern Virginia with decent salary. But to bear the expenses of moving across the country all money was used from the retirement account.

He soon realized that he was using his credit card to fulfill his basic necessities like food, traveling expense and utility bills. He had $30,000 each in credit card debt and school loan debt.
