| DO CAR LEASES HURT MY CREDIT? |
Yes! Car leases will hurt your credit until you pay down the initial balance of the lease 50%. So if your total lease was $10k, you would need a balance of at least $5k for this debt to turn positive. Some folks haven't seen benefits until they reach the 35% mark!!! Ouch. We know car leases are normally cheaper than buying so there is a payoff for most people who don't drive over 15k miles per year. We do not recommend going over a 3 year lease unless you get a really, really, really good deal. You will see anywhere from 10-25 point drop in your credit scores when you sign up for a lease. Some have seen up to 40 points so you are forewarned! Call or visit us today... 866-918-8554 or www.CnyCreditRepair.com. |
