What Is Poor Credit and How Can You Improve It?
Poor credit refers to a lower-than-average credit score, which often reflects past financial difficulties. These can include missed payments, defaults, CCJs (County Court Judgements), or even bankruptcy. In the UK, credit reference agencies use the following rough guidelines to classify credit scores:
- Excellent: 800+
- Good: 700–799
- Fair: 600–699
- Poor: 500–599
- Very Poor: Below 500
If your credit score falls within the poor or very poor range, you might struggle to get approved for traditional finance options. However, Autozone is here to make car finance more accessible through our bad credit car finance solutions.
Improving your credit score doesn’t happen overnight, but small steps can make a big difference. Here are some practical tips:
- Pay bills on time every month
- Register on the electoral roll at your current address
- Keep credit card balances low and under your credit limit
- Avoid making multiple credit applications within a short time frame
- Review your credit report regularly and correct any inaccuracies
By following these steps, you can gradually build a stronger credit profile and improve your long-term financial outlook.
