Patrick Guitman recently graduated from college with $20,000 in student loans and $5,000 in credit card debt. He usually makes minimum payments on his debt and he has been late with three payments in the last year. He wants to buy a new car but was told that his interest rate on a loan would be very high. What is the most likely reason this might be so

Patrick has a poor credit score

Explanation:

Patrick is categorized as a high-risk customer. He has a poor credit score, and that why he is being charged a high-interest rate.  A credit rating or credit score is a numerical value assigned to borrowers as an assessment of their repayment behavior.

A high credit score is obtained by making prompt repayment of all debts, especially credit cards, as they have more weight. Late repayments of loans and missing installment payments result in a low or poor credit score. Patrick has missed three repayments, which will affect his credit score negatively.  Lenders will view Patrick as a borrower with a high probability of default, thereby charging him higher interest rates.

typically a loft will include modern kitchen and bathrooms, this increases the price tag. lofts also have a good amount of open space, this requires more heating and electricity. lofts are also in older buildings, this means that maintaining the location increases the bill. keep in mind this is without talking about the high state and property taxes.

i hope this you! : )
