building good credit
vagirlhi asked:


My boyfriend is 28 and has never had a credit card because his father discouraged it. Now that I have talked him into getting one to build credit, he cannot get approved for one. He has applied for a Visa card, a credit card through his bank, and a gas card, but all turned him down. I know a store credit card is am option, but every time he applies without getting approved, it can hurt his credit. Does anyone have suggestions on how he can get approved or build some credit? I know financial advisors work more with investments, but would it be worth for him to talk to one about advice about his credit?

    There are cards that are called secured cards. you make a deposit in a account and they will issue a card with your deposit being your credit limit. you can get one of these and if you have no trouble with paying you they will make it a regular card. No one knows it is secured and they report the activity to the credit reporting services and you can build a credit history. You might try a credit union for a card. Discover card is fairly easy get.
