Blanca of the Access Atlanta blog on dating asks if a low credit score would be a deal breaker in a relationship.

There are many reasons that someone’s credit score could have suffered a blow. Being laid off, getting out of a bad relationship or unexpected illness are just a few that come to mind. I just have to wonder if that is the best way to judge if someone is responsible enough to be in a relationship with you.

I suppose that checking out a person’s credit history could be helpful if you are getting serious enough about them that you are thinking of spending the rest of your life with them. Running a credit check for a date might be a little overkill.
