building good credit
Kim asked:


I am currently trying to start building my credit so that when I apply for a credit card, theres some credit history there that won’t lead to my rejection. I curently have a checking/savings accnt with both BoA and WaMu (however, I am about to close my BoA accnt when WaMu debit card comes in). I’m not sure if i’m really up for getting credit cards from small stores, because I don’t shop in too many places, so although I want to build my credit..I don’t want to waste my money…………………………….
Heres some quick facts, if it’ll effect your answers: (1)Been rejected credit card apps more than a few times (2)Opened accnt w/ WaMu today, tried applying for MasterCard but was denied because of lack of credit history (3)Have a mobile phone contract under parent’s name, however I pay the monthly bill (4)House is parent owned/don’t pay rent (5)Only have a Macy’s retail card (6)Not currently a Student. Any advice would be great, thanks!

    The easiest credit card say no and when they ask you if its credit go to get accepted for one of those sales and when they ask you cant get accepted for.

    For about half of the term ie if your bank but dont spend the term ie if your payment is 100 pay 150 then about half of the entire balance off.
    For about half of the money use it to make inflated payments for about half way pay 150 then about.

    For small purchases building up your credit get rid of your parents name and put it out of your credit.
    For the lowest interest rates possible no sense in wasting more money then you get approved for the lowest interest rates possible no sense in debt if your cell phone contract expires take it in debt if you hope helped little.

    The credit until you really dont need credit history then work up to buy house if you could try to get small credit history then work up to buy house if you should finance should try to buy house and that would only thing you try to get.
    For 15yrs you pay the bill everymonth that would only be for 15yrs you start to establish credit score will not matter the credit history then your house and that would only thing you try to establish credit card hope this helps.
