My credit was fine a week ago, now it's not - what happened?

There are a few things that can cause your credit to take a dive without you knowing it. The first is an inquiry. In this case a credit card company, utility company or mortgage company might request a look at your credit information. You might have done some work to better your rating in the last couple of months; however it takes a few more months for that information to show up. Another more obvious problem might be the failure to pay your bills on time. And lastly charge offs might be another reason for receiving bad credit. A charge off is when you didn't pay a bill, forgot to pay a bill, and it has become obvious to a company that you are never going to pay the bill. The company will write off your incompetence as a loss on their books for their taxes.
