larenta_luna asked:


Besides obvious things like not going over the credit limit, or making late payments or things like that. At first I thought that building good credit involved things like paying off the entire balance on a card as soon as you got the statement, but then a friend of mine who works for a mortgage company and knows a lot about credit said that, for example, if I bought $30 of gas and then paid that off as soon as I got the statement, that wouldn’t be building any credit. She said it would be better to pay the minimum (mine is $15) after the first statement, then pay the rest off the next statement (assuming I don’t use the card again in that time period). Is she right?
I forgot to mention that so far I’ve had the card a couple months and I’ve just been paying the entire balance off as I get the statement. So does that mean I haven’t built any credit?

    In a way yes your friend is right. Also I read a book that said that you could buy things from department stores and then return them for a full refund. That would show up as a purchase and a full payment on your account. This shows maturity on your part. Also getting a small account on like some jewelry and paying it off over a period of time will build good credit. You got to have both payment history as well as payment maturity.
