The Impact of Loans on Credit Scores
Taking out a loan, such as a personal loan or student loan, can impact your credit score in several ways. First, it can help you build a credit history if managed responsibly. Consistent and timely monthly payments can improve your credit score over time. However, failing to meet loan terms can negatively affect your credit score. Being mindful of your loan’s APR, repayment terms, and any potential fees is crucial for managing your finances and maintaining a positive credit score.
