What makes a credit profile "bad" in Ontario?
Learn where lenders draw the line between good credit and bad credit.
No credit history
You’ve never had a loan, credit card, or financed purchase. There’s nothing to score yet.
Thin file
Fewer than three credit accounts reporting. Lenders don’t have enough history to assess risk.
Late payments
Payments 30, 60, or 90 days past due. Each one stays on your report for up to 6 years.
Collections
Debt that’s been sent to a collection agency. Significant negative impact on your score.
