Credit
My credit card balance is over 50%. How long will it take my credit score to go back up?
Apr 4th
Hi. I recently just got my first credit card ever and used it to make a $1600 purchase. The credit limit is $3000, so obviously I’m over 50% of the balance, and I just learned that’s bad for credit scores. I expect to be able to pay off the purchase in the next two or three months. Will my credit score go back up immediately after I get the balance on my card down, or will it take a while? Thanks.Submited by:Casey
How am I supposed to get credit without going into debt?
Mar 29th
Love asked:
I’m a college student so i’m already strapped for cash and I’ve managed to be able to keep from getting a loan. I really need a car but I have no credit. I need a phone but I need credit. I have been taught my whole life not to get loans and credit cards so what am I supposed to do?
How can you raise you credit score even when you pay on time?

Ok, past credit messed me up. I have a judgement thats almost paid off. I am trying to raise my credit score.I have 3 new accounts that I’ve paid on time for over 1 year. I read that one way to raise your score is to ” piggy back” on a relatives good credit ( have them add me to one of their good accounts and not use it) Is this safe, is it legal. I would love to hear constructive ways to increase my credit score. Please don’t judge me. Almost all of my ” bad” credit accounts have been paid off. I put my sons first when the divorce came. They lived in the house that I paid for while I lived in a basement.Submited by:amhjp1820
What is a good credit card to get that you almost will never get turned down for?
Mar 1st
I currently have two credit cards, but would like to get one final one. I’ve been getting turned down for a few recently that I thought sounded good. What are some good cards and websites where I can get a credit card that almost every gets approved for? I’m young(21) and trying to establish some more credit. My friend got approved for a Best Buy credit card tonight and his credit isn’t that good. However, I just want a main card(for example: visa, discover) and not a store card. Thanks for any help.

How can I get a loan with horrible credit?
Feb 27th
I have 20+ negative accounts on my credit, about half are paid in full or paying as agreed, however there are a lot of things that are still outstanding (as in collections)! I have about 12 hard looks or whatever at my credit! And I have 1 good standing account and that’s it! Sad huh! Well I would really like to try and pay everything on my credit off and get in good standing with everyone but of course it’s not like I’m rich or I wouldn’t be in this prediciment! So if anyone knows of anyway I could get a personal loan so that I can pay off my stuff and work on building better credit please please please let me know!Submited by:Jenn
Closing a credit card account that is inactive? How much will it affect my credit report?
Feb 23rd
I’ve had this account for about two years, and I haven’t used it in a long time, and I’m thinking of closing it but I don’t know how it would affect my credit report. This is a secure credit card, with only a $300 limit. I have two other credit cards that I use a lot more often and I’ve been very responsible about paying bills on time.
