How much will my credit score dip if I miss a payment?

Everyone knows that their credit score will take a hit if they miss their credit card payments or max out their credit cards. A lot of people find themselves in such situations and wonder how badly their credit score will be hit.

While the exact drop in your credit score will depend on your particular situation, MyFico has got some examples of how much your credit scores will change because of certain events.

As you can see, while defaulting on the credit card payment results in the worst credit score drop, maxing out your cards has a pretty bad impact too.
