No, no he could actually help you re-establish your credit if his is good.

If you're really in a bind (and I mean REALLY) I would stop paying credit cards before student loans. Student loans are a type of secure loan, like a house payment. If you don't pay, not only will it affect your credit, but they can also garnish wages from your paycheck. Credit cards are not secure loans. That means, besides recking your credit, all they can do is harrass you with 50 million phone calls daily. I would try getting a low interest credit card and not charging anything else on that card until you've gotten your student loans under control. Try paying the interest on the loan plus $100 bucks each month. Also, set up automatic payment so you're never late paying your student loans. With some consolidation companies such as Great Lakes, automating your payment could decrease your interest. Good luck.

This will not DIRECTLY affect your fiance...what I mean by directly is when you marry it will not show up on his credit report.
It will INDIRECTLY affect him, in that if you have bad credit and try to buy a car or house together the interest rate will be higher. If you do not qualify for these things he may have to buy them in his name only, which will cause his credit score to go down because his Debt to Income Ratio will be too high. So you will need to be careful until your credit is built back up to use credit wisely so you can keep his good credit in tact for the future!

your credit is yours ... its controlled by your SSN. Getting married does nothing to his credit rating.
However, if his credit is good ... then you should ask him if you can be a CO-SIGNER on some of his loans. As long as the payments are made on time your credit score will improve.
Also keep in mind that everytime you run your credit ... for anything ... you credit score goes down with each inquiry. If you walk into Wal-mart and they want you to apply for a credit card and they will give you a free set of knives ... for what it really cost ... you dont need the knives!
If you want to improve your credit ... make the payments that are due and on time; try to co-sign with hubby's good credit; and leave your credit report alone ... dont even check it yourself ... in time it will correct itself.
Also, depending on what is on your current credit report. You can bombard the credit reporting company (TransUnion, Equafax, Esperian) with dispute letters every 3 weeks and all the "junk" on your report will fall off whether you owed the money or not. Everyone should be doing this regularly. Just refer to the reference number next to the lender of collection agency and go 4 it. The lender or collection agency has only 5 business days to respond to your dispute ... hit them every 3 weeks religously and they will ge tired of you and take it off your report.

it wont effect his credit
however when you go to take out any joint loans that will be a factor. I would say except for a house, try to make him the sole signer on any loans you all take out for a while untill you pay that debt down. You having that much in debt will make you all have to pay higher interest rates because they are going to see you as a liability.

It won't effect his credit at all. The only time it will is if you buy something together. Try to get your loan paid off though.

As long as he isn't a joint owner of any debt with you he won't be effected.
