Why do people with excellent credit and a high FICO score get the lowest interest?
Robin G asked:
I know I’m going to get a lot of flack for this. So here goes. High interest rates are given to people with bad credit or no credit. Or not enough credit. I understand the risk with bad credit. Why such high rates with the no credit or not enough credit? The banks shouldn’t be surprised if some of these accounts result in default. People get into trouble when their interest rate is so high. Then they lose their cars and their houses. Doesn’t it make more sense to give these people a lower interest rate to begin with? I realize it is a business and not a charity. If they are going to default. It doesn’t matter what the interest rate is. A low interest rate is better than losing any profits from a repossession or foreclosure.
