Banks also use this information to determine how creditworthy you are, or the likelihood that you will pay back any money that they lend you.

How does bad credit happen?
Whenever you take out a loan or use your credit card, you are essentially borrowing money with the intention of paying back the bank or the creditor over an agreed period of time. In return for the finance provider paying the total sum now, which allows you to have the good straight away, you agree to make regular payments of an agreed amount, on an agreed date, until the contract has been fulfilled.
Any time you make a late payment or miss one altogether, the credit provider will notify the Credit Reporting Agency (such as Equifax or Experian). The Credit Reporting Body use this information to produce your credit report, which is your history of managing credit. When payments are late, or missed, this will be noted on your credit report, and is referred to as a black mark.
The information on your credit report is used to calculate your credit score. Your credit score sums up the information on your credit report into one number, designed to represent your credit risk, or the likelihood that you will pay your bills on time. The higher the score, the more creditworthy you’ll likely appear to reputable financial institutions, like banks. Essentially, the better you are at paying your bills on time, the higher or better your credit score will be and the more likely you will be able to borrow more money in the future. A bad credit score could result in you being denied credit or having to pay more interest.
A low credit score can cost you thousands, with the risk of being offered higher interest rates, or even worse, refused credit altogether. But the Fix Bad Credit team can help you improve your credit history, ensuring you are in the best possibly position when applying for new credit with a range of credit repair solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is my credit score calculated?
Does it cost to check my credit score?
No, you can request a free copy of your personal credit report online from the three Credit Reporting Agencies.
- Equifax (previously known as Veda).
- Experian Australia
- Illion (formerly trading as Dun & Bradstreet Australia)
Alternatively, you can contact us, and we can order your credit reports on your behalf, at no cost.
Is there a difference between credit score and credit rating?
No, credit score and credit rating mean the same thing.
Why does my credit score matter?
Your credit score matters because it costs you money. Credit providers, such as banks and other lenders, use your credit score along with the information in your credit report, to assist in deciding whether to lend you money, how much they will lend you and at what interest rate. A low score can lead to companies being reluctant to lend to you or charging you a higher interest rate. If your credit score is high, you might be able to get better deals from phone and internet providers and insurance and power companies.
My credit score is low, how did that happen?
You can have a low credit score for many reasons, such as if you pay your bills late, or not at all, if you make a large number of credit applications in a short period of time, are made bankrupt or have a court judgement, or even if your partner defaults on a debt that was in both your names.
What do I do if there is an error on my credit report?
Many Australians have errors on their file. It might be identity theft, or just a simple mistake by the lender. If there’s a mistake on your report, you’ll need to contact:
- Your credit provider
- The credit reporting agency
- The office of the Privacy Commissioner – if need be.
Alternatively, Fix Bad Credit can do this on your behalf. Contact us on 1300 406 172 for more information.
Why do I need to check my credit score?
Many people don’t realise they have a credit problem until it is too late. Over 70% of Australian’s don’t know their credit score. Most people only find out they have a credit problem once they have been declined finance. At Fix Bad Credit, we believe the best approach is to know your credit score before you apply for credit. If you rely on your lender to discover your credit problem, you are in no position to negotiate for a good deal, potentially costing you tens of thousands of dollars in higher interest rates.
