If I had known my first husband's credit record, I would have turned in the otha (notice I didn't say other) direction!! It's one thing to mess your credit up and then learn from it and become responsible with money, but he was just plain BAD!!! His credit was so jacked up that we got turned down for every apartment we applied for and had to end up living with his mother!! Then he couldn't get a job at any of the casinos in Detroit when they opened up a few years back because of his credit. His parents co-signed for him to get a car and it ends up getting taken by the repo man!! The only job that he could get was at this place called Tuesday Morning and that was only part-time!! It took a looooooooong time for me to get my credit cleaned up after I divorced him!!!
I'm not saying that my credit is A-1 either but I learned my lesson from the plastic hangover in college and have become responsible with money. My current Hubby suffered from the Grown Ass Man syndrome and he's in recovery, I'm hoping that we can be able to purchase a home in the next 5 years or so.
So having said that, I agree with SummerChild and I wouldn't turn a man down based on his credit if I see that he has become responsible with his money since messing up his credit.
