Credit issues

If someone has bad credit, then the pair really can’t go in together on certain assets. Like when it’s time to buy a home or even just a car for the family—perhaps only the credit of one individual will qualify them. The other person’s credit slashes their chances. And so, the car belongs to the person with the good credit. The house belongs to the person with the good credit.
