Bad Credit on the Rise

The number of consumers with bad credit has risen sharply since 2007, with more than 110 million in the U.S. now affected by a negative credit history, according to a new study released by BadCreditOffers.com (http://www.badcreditoffers.com).

The surge in bad credit reflects a growing number of delinquent mortgages, credit cards, and auto loans within the American middle class, the study finds.
