Credit risk is the risk of loss due to a debtor's non-payment of a loan or other line of credit (either the principal or interest (coupon) or both).

Faced by lenders to consumers

Main article: Consumer credit risk

Most lenders employ their own models (credit scorecards) to rank potential and existing customers according to risk, and then apply appropriate strategies. With products such as unsecured personal loans or mortgages, lenders charge a higher price for higher risk customers and vice versa. With revolving products such as credit cards and overdrafts, risk is controlled through the setting of credit limits. Some products also require security, most commonly in the form of property.

Q. Will my credit rating be the same if i will transfer to USA? Or i will start my credit worthiness again?

A. Unless you have been using credit cards from US banks/branches, you will definitely start brand new. Getting credit will be tricky at first, but soon you can start getting credit cards with credit lines of $2,000 to $10,000. Unfortunately, getting credit is way to easy in the USA and this costs all consumers a lot of money. You can easily get yourself into trouble with credit in the USA because credit is so easy. But, you can also very easily take advantage of the system, get lots of credit, buy lots of things that you will get to keep, and never pay any of the bills. Lots of foreigners come here and do that, and have the easy life. I think it is despicable and wish people would be honest, instead. Try the honest way, because you… [cont.]

I forgot to pay my discover card payment. Will it affect my credit score?
Q. I was just busy over the holidays and missed it. I paid it on my computer after I got off work last nite, but I am so embarrassed because they called me at work and wanted the payment then and their like I was some kind of a criminal. Will this cause any adverse affect on my credit worthiness? I just bought a kitchen table on the card. Should I pay off the balance? Will it help?

A. Shouldn't be any huge deal if it was not past due over 30 days. I've had them call me before when I forgot but it was not as if I was a criminal, they seemed to be trying to help to make sure there wasn't a problem. Don't take the tone of voice of the one individual too seriously, there's a lot poor employees out there who don't understand their company's "mission." This is NOT siginificant, as a one time event.

Credit rebuilding question?
Q. I currently have nothing on my credit report. Haven't bought anything at all on credit for 10+ years. I've applied for credit cards at various places just to try and establish credit worthiness. All negative, except for one which I haven't used yet. So if I get a secured credit card how long will it take to get a decent report? Thanks I'd rather not burden others by asking them to cosign or add me to their credit.

A. I work with major credit card companies and from what I've seen with secured credit cards is that you generally have to use them for about 6-12 months before you start seeing an effect. Make sure that you use your card at least 2-3 times a month. Don't spend a lot, just a few bucks here and there. Just show that you can pay your bill off in time.
