* Auto Insurance Companies:

These companies use a copy of your credit report to decide whether if you have a chance to deal with them or not. How is that? Simply, the lowest credit scores are the most likely to get into accidents so premiums will be much higher than those who have a high credit scores.

* Employers:

Credit reports are also used by employers to decide whom to hire. Many employers look for a high credit score, a clean credit history and a good credit report which represents a proof of person’s stability and dependability.

Even if you have a job, your bad credit report will affect your financial life. When a person feels that his life is under a mountain of debt and has no ability to control his finances, he may think of applying for another job (part time job).

Therefore, he may face a problem if the employer checks his credit report and finding some errors in it.
