    First of all - FICO is a RACKET!!!

    It is designed by the credit card industry to keep poor people from getting ahead (so they need more credit - because they make money off of the fees, and if people don't pay back - guess what? The government bails them out! Who pays for that? YOU DO!! even if they don't tax you for it, they just print more money, and you still pay, because of the drop of the value of the dollar. They say inflation is low? DON'T BELIEVE IT - their measurement is designed to HIDE inflation. Believe your eyes, check prices of food, gasoline, life's necessities! You are paying for this bailout.)

    That said:

    Assess the person's character honestly. Don't use a stupid artificial measurement like FICO. In all probability, it's likely that a person with bad credit has a character problem. Or sick parents whose healthcare they had to pay for. Or who knows? There are better ways to measure a person's worth.

    However:

    For the strictly mercenary among you (and I know you're out there. .. ) Character can be irrelevant if a person has a bad FICO score. If you are a Material Girl, and if material things are important to you - then all the character in the world will not make up for living with a poor person who can't get credit.

    Find a guy with a good FICO, get him to buy you furs and jewelry and vacations, then when he maxes his cards out, kick him to the curb!

    (then the next girl will be smart enough to reject him when she sees how low his FICO score went!)

    WOW! What every happened to love, compassion, Understanding, honesty and compatability being the most important things in a relationship. Love is supposed to be able to overcome all adversities and difficulties in life. And love is supposed to be the most important thing in a relationship. What happens if you find "The One" the one person in this life that truly makes you happy beyond all belief? Then you find out he has bad credit..sucks for you doesnt it. To assume that people with bad credit are flawed people is a flaw in your personality. The are tons of people out there who have excellent credit and they are just evil, selfish, controlling and abusive people. Are these people not flawed just because they have good credit. Money is also supposed to be the root of all evil and it honestly cant buy true happiness. I have met some one who is the most honest, wonderful, caring person i have ever met in my 35 years on this earth and we both have bad credit from when we were young. Are we bad people? NO of course not. Stop being so superficial and look beyond your selfish thoughts or you will never find someone who can be "The One" You will always be damaging your relationship.

    Credit rating does not come into love or marriage. yes it may cause problems but anyone can have a poor credit rating at some point in their lives. Far more important things to take into consideration. If you put credit rating that high I would suggest no one ever marries you as you are a very narrow minder person who only thinks of money, sad when you think about it

    I did marry someone with a credit problem and your are selfish and shallow. What is the reason they had the credit problem. In my wifes case her ex husband took out a credit card in her name and did not pay the bills. Once we cleared this off her credit all was good and she has good credit now.

    Maybe they hit a rough patch in there life and are trying to recover.

    So I guess you are perfect and immune to financial rough patches and would never be the victim of identity theft or someones out and out maliccios acts

    Do you run credit checks on all your dates? Just kidding, but how would you know, or at what point would you have that conversation? I think to some extent that bad credit may just be due to bad choices, especially those made in college. Heck, where I went to school they gave away all kinds of free stuff to get unsuspecting kids to open credit cards. More important to me than the number is how they got to that point and if they are trying to improve, and how much debt they are carrying.

    Just because they have bad credit doesn't mean that they are a bad person. They might of just done some stupid things with cash and credit when they where younger. If they are still in their bad money habits, then you need to think about what you've gotten into.

    bad credit isnt really a character flaw. i think if someone hides their bad credit then that is a communication issue in the relationship. sometimes bad credit is the result of unforeseen financial problems. keep that in mind when you say that bad credit is a character flaw

    It depends on how bad. My fiance owes a couple grand to a credit agency, I don't see that as a red flag really. It's when people owe upwards near $10,000 or more, have filed bankruptcy, have the IRS chasing after them, etc..that scares me off a bit!

    That's about as shallow and materialistic as it get's, I found out my ex ran my credit score.... after I proposed, and it was excellent.... and I left her ***. The question should be "Would you want to marry someone who wouldn't be with you because of your credit score?"
