What you need to do is keep everything seperate until you restore your credit. Unfortunately it takes longer to restore your credit than to ruin it. You need to bring up your credit score. I'm dealing with these issues myself, but I was the one with good credit until my husband ruined it.

Not directly, no.... unless you wanted to get a joint loan or something (credit card, mortgage, etc). Your credit is your credit, his credit is his credit.

The only way that either of your credit scores would affect the other is if you are co-applicants on a loan. If one of you has bad credit and the other has good credit, that may impact the ability to get the loan (or the interest rate on it), but his won't "leak" into yours and yours won't "leak" into his.

With that in mind, if one of you has poor spending habits, you may want to discuss which one of you will be in control of the checkbook and bills..... just to avoid the one with poor credit directly impacting the one with good credit. Good luck!

Only if you both have joint accounts.

No it would not.


deedee
no, your credit is in different names. actually yours will damage him from getting a good deal if both names are on a loan. it would be better for you to let him get things in his name only.


itsallgood
Only if you get things in both your names and are late on payments. I believe that you would start to earn bad credit as a unit but I could be wrong. I know that my husband and I both have different credit scores (mine is ALOT worse...lol)

Take it from me...(I've been there) try not to get into credit card debt and live within your means.


roginad
No, until you do not have joint accounts. Just do not add his name on your bad accounts. On other hand he can help you to rebuild your credit by opening new joint accounts or adding your name on his existing accounts. Keep in mind, joint accounts should be in good standing otherwise they will hurt both of you. Also important, when you applying for a large credit together, most companies, especially in mortgage business, consider the primary wage owner credit score to determine how much it will cost you (interest rate). So, be careful when you ready to do so.


Go Bears!
Neither - If you wanted to make a purchase that required good credit, you would have your husband be the primary on the load (or whatever). Or if it was a smallish loan ($5,000 or less) you could be the primary and your husband could co-sign which (if you don't miss payments) could help your credit score.

yes, sound like it will work in your favor. The only think with him is that he can't get nothing in your name, but you can get anything you want in his.

Your credit reports are still looked at individually. Your bad credit will impact him, though, when you are looking to apply for any type of loan jointly, such as a mortgage. Here's a site online that has information about this type of situation:

Good luck!

not necessarily...my hubby has a separate account and is paying off old bills and my credit is great...


Amy V
If you jointly apply for a loan they look at the credit records of everyone applying.


.
In some way, your credit histories are going to cross, so I think yours will bring his down before his will bring yours up.
