    SUCKER……….!!! I bet anyone that wants to do this is thinking that right not.

  3. That is acceptable, but it's easier if you go online and apply for really any type of credit card that you want. Some companies will not want to give you a card unless it is secured if you don't have any previous credit. You're best bet it to try a department store first, even though their interest rates are the highest. This way once you get a card and make a purchase, you can pay it off quickly. Keep doing this and your credit will be established. jsut don't go overboard and end up like the rest of us who are in debt up to our ears.

    The credit card company won't know you're planning to leave the country! Even if they did know, they can't stop you, unless they first sue you and get a court order saying you can't leave. But it is highly unlikely that any judge would grant such an order for a credit card debt.

    Yes, they could sue you in court for the debt. They would have to serve you with the court papers before they could have a trial.

    A credit card can be a really good thing to have, or it can be a nightmare. Try to find one that charges no annual fee and that gives you some kind of reward…airline miles, cash back, something. Then…and listen closely…PAY IT OFF IN FULL EVERY MONTH!! You do that, no problem. you start missing payments, then you can quickly get in over your head.

    They may occassionally send you the most boring looking documents you have ever seen in the mail. Read them. The credit cards can change the terms of your agreement, and these boring looking notices are the only way they tell you. If you use the card after theyhave sent out the change of terms, you have accepted the new terms.

    Good luck.

    Definitely NOT Bank of America.

    They recently upped peoples APR without any explanation or reason; it was all over the news. Try a company that's a little less shady. There are plenty of horror stories of what this company has done to their consumers.

    Congrats, on your cleaning up your debt and your credit score. What you want to do is compare credit cards and the good news is there are many internet sites that will allow you to.

    Check http://www.creditland.com, http://www.bankrate.com, http://www.credit.com On these sites you can look and compare the credit cards that have no annual fee and a low APR. Also if you belong to a credit union, they have excellent rates. You may also consider doing a search for LOW credit card rates in search engines. USA Today does a comprehensive list every year.

    I hope this helps you out.

    Good Luck

    there are a couple of ways you could start building credit, you could get a small personal loan which you might need a cosigner or the best way will be getting a credit cards, you could get a credit card and use it for your every day expenses but make sure you pay in full at the end of the month that way it will show pay in full everytime the credit card company reports to the credit beuros. At the begining you will only be approved for the lower end credit cards but once you build credit in about 6-9 months you should be able to apply for a better card with better benefits such as free miles or cash back. Check out http://www.fastcreditcardapprovals.com and go under bad or no credit section and you will find a few choices. But if you are a student apply of a student credit card these cards have no annual fees and low rates.

    @janoleolsen dam! lol

  13. jpro says:

    Well, thats one way to get back at credit card companys; run them into dept!!!

  14. truth says:

    Why not start a credit card bank? Charge 30% APR, get 10,000 clients with a balance of 5000 dollars each, and the bank makes 10,000 x 5000 x 30% = 15 million dollar annual profit! There will be expenses, but they won’t be 15 million… 1000 people investing 5000 each makes enough to start a bank. And if the bank makes a 10M profit, your 5000 dollars owns 0.1% of this. Typically a company with a 10M profit is worth 100M dollars, 0.1% of 100M is 100,000 dollars – a very good return on 5000 :)

    The sure-fire way of NEVER being turned down for a major credit card would be to apply for secured credit card. Basically what type of card this is, is that you give them money up front (say you ask for a $500 limit), and everytime you use that card, the money will already be in your account with that card and it will just come out. This secures to both the credit card company and to yourself that the money will always be in there, therefore there will never be any over-ages, late fees, and the the like and will guarantee you a strong credit building account. I hope that my answer has helped you.

  17. The money in your savings account would not be available while using your debit card making normal purchases unless you have selected an overdraft protection program and the funds are not available in your checking account. I highly recommend adding this to your account, in the event that you make a purchase that is greater than the amount available in your checking account, the bank will use money from your savings account to cover the purchase. This way you don't aquire all those overdraft fees or have bounced checks (while writing checks). Pay close attention to your funds! Alot of debit cards can also be used as a credit card. Its basically the same thing in this case, where in both cases the monies will be deducted from your checking account, debit takes the funds immediately while credit will take sometimes up to 4 days to completely withdraw. The difference between your debit card, and a credit card, would be that credit cards are an open balance of money availably ready to be lended from banks, purchases using a traditional credit card also incrue interest on the amount you spend. (you have to pay back more than you spend) Debit cards are attatched to your bank account and will just deduct money from your account to pay for the things you've purchased :) And though you didn't ask for it… After you've accrued a larger sum of money in your savings account, speak to your local financial director and check into special savings account that give you back more money for allowing the bank to use it, such as locked savings accounts and bonds! :)

    Stop applying for the cards, you will only be denied. You will have to start building your credit rating with secured credit. Make sure the banks report to the credit bureaus, otherwise it does no good.

    Go to the bank you do business with, ask them if they have a secured credit card, if they do open a new account with $300 – $500 tell them you want a secured credit card against that account. Use the card for small purchases like gas or food and pay the card off entirely each month on time.

    Also you can take your savings account and save until you have $1,000. Tell your banker you want to take a installment loan out against the savings account. Take the money you receive and put it in your checking account to repay the loan. Pay it off in 12 months. Lenders like to see a mixture of credit, revolving, installments, personal loans.

    After a few months you can try for an unsecured card again. Retail store cards and gas cards are normally easier to get.

    It takes 24 months of consistent on time payments to build a good credit rating.
