First of all, stop applying for credit cards. Each application causes an inquiry into your credit, which will be a factor in your score for 12 months (in regards to credit) and 24 months (in regards to insurance). Find out why you are being denied and ask BEFOREHAND if that particular lender will grant someone with those circumstances an account.

You can begin by opening a bank account. Having an on-going relationship with a local bank is an important step. You can often approach that institution for your first credit account. One of the best ways to begin is by requesting a secured credit card. This type of account is less risky for the lender and therefore much easier for a consumer to obtain. Other ways which offer consumers an entry into credit are: Car loans, student loans and small personal loans, especially when secured by a Certificate of Deposit or a savings account equal to, or larger than, the loan amount.

There are also alternative sources of credit that many lenders will consider. These included local Buy-Here-Pay-Here business; like car lots, furniture and jewelry stores and Rent-to-Own chains. These businesses typically don't show on a conventional credit report, but can be used by borrowers on an application.

The credit process is designed to elimination personal consideration. Effective strategies for consumer's with no, or bad, credit history include putting that consideration back into the picture. Establish a relationship with someone who will have to look you in the eye to deny your credit application. It is much easier to "red-line" an application than to say to someones' face, "sorry, you don't get ...(whatever it was you applied for)..." Good luck!

How can a homemaker get a real personal loan not a payday loan?

At your local Financial Institution. Payday loans are loans that are designed to last for only a couple of pay periods. They are also an option for someone who needs to get money fast or has very poor credit (since verification requirements are minimal). Your ability to qualify for a personal loan will depend on the requirements of the financial institution you apply to. If you intend to borrow the money for at least a few months, this would be the best option to pursue. Interest rates on personal loans (even if your credit is not that great) are often similar to the interest rate you would get on a credit card. Try asking your local bank/credit union first. If your local bank/credit union turns you down because of your credit, you may want to consider getting a loan from a finance company (the rates are higher, but their credit requirements are typically more lenient).


Can a seventeen year old minor sign for a car loan?

Depends ... proof of income is going to be a requirement by the lender ... they need to make sure that your "debt to income" ratio is within their limits. Your credit score also comes into play ... if it turns up too low, credit, any credit, will be declined.

What is the difference between hire purchase and bank credit?

With bank credit, you are buying it - and making monthly payments to the bank which loaned you the money. With hire/purchase, you are buying it on a month-by-month basis, and paying the person who owns it once a month, until it is "paid off" and you then own it. Surprisingly, "hire/purchase" frequently turns out to be the more expensive of the two in the long run.
