Question

Which of the following are signs of a person being in credit distress?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Only making minimum payments on credit cards each month

Explanation:

Credit distress is a financial status where an individual or a firm cannot meet its obligations in time. The business or the individual cannot generate sufficient resources to pay their debts as they become due. To a business, high fixed costs, economic downturns, and illiquid assets cause credit distress.

Poor budgeting, unnecessary debt load, poor financial decisions lead to credit distress among individuals. Other signs of credit distress include living or over-relying on overdrafts, problem paying bills on time, and getting reminder collection calls and past-due notices.
