No. Not paying your bills does.

Since unemployment is all done by phone now you can probably just call.  If it's not automated in your state, then go in and check.

Unemployment Office helps! Then I'd check your state offices to see what sort of services they can provide!

I don't believe it is fair.  There could be something on your credit report that is there erroneously.  Plus, on top of that, each time a company runs your credit it shows up as an inquiry on your report & that makes it look like you are applying for credit all over the place.  Then when you actually apply for credit, the credit issuing agency sees all the inquiries & that has a bearing on whether you are approved or disapproved for future credit.

No because you are not considered unemployed.  The workers comp. company is responsible for paying your wages and for any costs occuring from the injury

great question...I'd like to know more too...\n\nwhat I do know is that everything will show up, such as traffic tickets...as long as you've had them taken care of, it won't be a problem.\n\nAlso, it depends on what level of a clearance you're going for.  Right now I'm working on my EPSQ 86...tough, but not top level, so I'm not worried...\n\nThey're looking for red flags --- bankruptcy, felonies, big things, ...\n\nthey also look at credit...but again, depends on the clearance --- you should be fine.\n\nWhat are you going for, where? when? etc??\n\nIM at koznut@yahoo.com or email me!  :-)

Yes, it can affect your credit rating if the unpaid bills are reported to one of the credit reporting agencies. A poor credit rating can affect your ability to obtain further credit, and can affect your ability to obtain some jobs where your creditworthiness may be a factor in assessing your reliability for a job. A bad credit rating can also make it more difficult for you to obtain insurance or you may pay higher rates (happens for car insurance, for example). \n\nIf you are having difficulty with debt consider talking to a debt counselor.

I would not worry about it.  All a credit score does is say how in debt you are.  People with good credit scores are just as bad off as people with bad scores.  My goal is to have no record on file, this will mean that I wont owe anyone.

Yes, but it should not affect the transaction you are having it pulled for. If you do not complete the transaction it will affect the next one you attempt to do. \n\nBrokers do serve a good purpose as they don't have to have your credit run several times to shop for the best loan for you. \n\nYeah that's a blatant ad, but ohh well! business is slow, you gotta start somewhere! :)

Unless you live in the state of California where it is illegal to use credit as a rating factor your score can affect your rate.  Credit is just one of the factors in what they call your insurance score report they take about 1400 things into account when calculating the rate.  The logic behind this is if you don't pay your bills on time and it shows as a pattern then they figure you may not pay your insurance on time.  Credit score weights more heavily on an auto policy than it does on a renters policy so your rate will not sky rocket if you have bad credit.

you are indeed correct, its a catch 22 basically, you want to build ur credit but inturn it affects your credit to apply. lame, i know. but thats the way the cookie crumbles.

Applying for "a bunch" in the last six months is negative toward your credit history.  Stop by your local bank and see if you can borrow a small personal loan...or maybe buy a car?
