Jan 3, 2009 Credit Advice
Good friends advice me to get a store credit card and make small purchases to pay it off and also to purchase a car by taking a loan from the bank.well,do you think this will help me a lot?
A few things:
If your parents have good credit history, they can make you an authorized user on one of their perfect cards and give you instant credit history.
Mostly, your friend is right. Get a department store card, make small purchases and pay your bill early or on time every month. Keeping a small small balance is OK too.
Be sure to ALWAYS make your payments on time. It takes 7 years to dig yourself out of bad credit mistakes. Be careful and don't overspend yourself.
