Question 20 • Personal Finance - EL3403

Pete is trying to get a loan. He has a credit score of 480. How is Pete’s lender likely to view this credit score?

Answer
A
Pete is responsible and will pay the loan back on time.
B
Pete is responsible but will not pay the loan back on time.
C
Pete is irresponsible but will pay the loan back on time.
D
Pete is irresponsible and will not pay the loan back on time.

Explanation

A credit score of 480 is very low, which signals to a lender that Pete may be a high-risk borrower. The lender is therefore likely to view him as irresponsible with credit and unlikely to repay the loan on time. Choice D says “Pete is irresponsible and will not pay the loan back on time.”
