Cleaning up your credit record never hurts

Problems with your credit record will be a problem if you hope to become a director of a company. But a bad credit record shouldn't be a problem if you just want to own or trade shares in a public company - unless you need to get a loan to finance the purchase.

I guess it depends what you plan to invest in.
