Does the person’s credit score matter to you?

Question

Aerissa_Jade · Accepted Answer

As if I meet someone, no, don't care what their credit score is. I won't however be with someone who is not responsible enough to take care of themselves. If they are that bad with their credit it is a red flag for a future with them, cause they'll be spending more than we have.

I understand exceptions like divorces and stuff like that causing problems... and someone who is recovering working to rebuild their credit.

Not very much credit score, more like it matters to me whether or not they handle their money well.

If they’re buried in debt but still act like they’re not, then yes. That means they dgaf

Well, I wouldn’t judge them for it. I made a lot of bad financial decisions when I was younger and didn’t save money. In fact I was rather frivolous with it, which I’m ashamed of. Then I got out of the military right in the middle of the 2008 recession which meant that I didn’t have a job. I went unemployed for three years, now I’m working and I’m paying my bills and trying to rebuild credit because my credit is poor. I don’t blame men for red flagging me because of that, but I’m trying to get better.

Therefore I don’t red flag men with poor credit for that reason alone. I would look at the reason he has bad credit. Obviously I would date him if he has bad credit due to medical debt or student loan debt. If he’s like me and trying to be better, I would date him but if he has bad credit for the same reason as me but he’s my age or older and STILL isn’t trying to get better, hell no

Yes, it does.

If we end up in a serious relationship, I don't want us to have to rely only on my credit, because my potential partner has a terrible score. If they're terrible with money, I'd be worried about them destroying my credit, too.

Avicenna · Answer

Her spending habits and debt levels matter very much to me if I am interested in an exclusive relationship. Relationships are a lot more difficult if one partner has large debts or has radically different spending habits than the other, so it's definitely a major criterion for me.

KatherineJ · Answer

I wouldn’t have asked to see his credit report, but it was definitely important to know that he wasn’t irresponsible. I mean his bills paid, not being in over his head, etc. But that’s not exactly something that we discussed until we started getting serious.

DaveJord · Answer

No because mine hovers around 800, so anything I wanted to do I would do for myself and would not need theirs. But if I had a terrible credit score I would not want to get with some one else who has terrible credit.

exitseven · Answer

It never used to but now that I am older I think it shows how a person behaves. If they have a bad credit score it could mean they are irresponsible and cannot be trusted.

SaoirseS · Answer

Indirectly yes. I wouldn’t have access to his credit report, but if he has a pattern of financial irresponsibility that’s bad news.

AviatorTom · Answer

Only if they're buying something from me, or if we are going to jointly buy something expensive, like a car or house.

Being generally irresponsible with money is a deal-breaker,

Anonymous · Answer

That's usually my response when a woman asks me how much I make, "what's your credit score/how much debt are you in". If she wants to know if my income is worth the effort I want to know how big of a weight I might be taking on. 🤣

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, a good credit score tells me they have the discipline I am looking for in a partner.

blondfrog · Answer

Somewhat cause that can tell me how good they are with their money or if they potentially had a criminal history.
