How may people pay there bills by the due date?

• Some people pay their bills when they receive the pink notice, others pay there bills right before it goes to collections. When do you pay you pay your bills?

• Answer:

  If you're not paying your bills ON TIME right from the very first bill your credit rating is going to go right into the toilet. That means when you look for a loan in the future for a car or home, you'll get the absolute worst deal possible because they won't trust you to pay your bills on time. Same goes for credit cards - no one wants to give credit to someone who won't pay their bills when they're due. You become a liability. Not to mention, it can hurt the prospect of employment if you need to have a background check done on your finances. Employers tend to be less trusting of people if they have delinquencies in their financial history. It's never too late to turn your situation around!
