What is considered “bad credit”?

In very general terms, a credit score of under 650 is considered challenged. Keep in mind, however, that there are three major credit agencies and each has many models to choose from. Even if you have a good credit score, other factors can push you into the program for bad credit surety bonds. For instance, a bankruptcy within the last 7 years, an unpaid judgement, even if small, or an open tax lien can all impact your ability to obtain a surety bond at the lowest possible rate.
