I am tired of applying and getting turned down. I applied to the so called bad credit cards for people trying to rebuild credit but I get turned down because of limited credit even when it says limited credit ok. Can you help me |
|
Answer:
Thank you for contacting us. In your situation we would recommend you to start with requesting your credit report. Sometimes banks turn down applications because some information on your credit report is missing or incorrect. You need to make sure that all the data the credit bureaus have is accurate. Since a certain number of your applications have been rejected we think a good option for you will be a secured card. You can make a small bank deposit to get a plastic. By making regular payments you have good chances to improve your credit score. We recommend the following offers: Applied Bank. Secured Visa® Credit Card. You do not have to meet any income or credit requirements to get approved. Low 9.99% will not change even if you miss the payment date. Both financial institutions report your payment information to all major credit bureaus. Millennium Bank. Black Diamond Visa®. Applications are approved regardless of credit score. It also has special perks including extended warranty protection and emergency cash transfer. If you would still like to try to get approved for an unsecured credit card the best option is Centennial MasterCard®/Visa by First PREMIER Bank. This card is issued especially for people with bad credit. No bank deposit is needed. Its main advantage is that it has low APR on purchases. |

Hello. My question is that I already have a credit card. I am a stay at home mother, so therefore I don't have a "job". My fiancee does pay my bills, including the credit card that I already have. It has defaulted, but never for long and I always address it as soon as I have the funds. With the economy the way that it is, and my daughter's one year birthday coming up very soon, I am in desperate need of another credit card. I know that isn't the best idea, but at this point it would be very helpful. Since my financee isn't my husband yet, and I am technically unemployeed, do you know of any credit cards that I would be able to get? Thank you! |

Answer:
The first thing to do in this situation is to request your credit report to know your credit score. If it is lower than 620 you have bad credit. If it is somewhere between 620-749 points you have fair credit. Depending on your credit history you can apply for different credit cards. If you have some funds available and want to get a credit card for sure you should consider applying for a secured credit card. All you need to have is a bank deposit that will secure your credit account. The best card will be Secured Visa® Credit Card issued by Applied bank. The applications are approved regardless of credit score. If you need an unsecured card but have bad credit you can apply for Centennial MasterCard®/Visa by First PREMIER Bank. You won't need to make a bank deposit. The card has relatively low APR for purchases. If your credit report states that you have fair credit you can apply for a Classic Platinum by Capital One®. It has 0% intro APR on purchases till December 2008. This card is for consumers with average credit. Apply only for the card you qualify for. Remember that a rejection might hurt your credit history. |

I'm 25 years old and i only have 1 card and its a Macy's credit but it doesn't have a major credit card logo i had some problems with a lien on my credit a few years back that was cleared but now when i apply for cards online in stores or even financing at car dealers it always comes back as not enough credit history or lack of credit history but i can't get any credit to actually raise my credit or raise my credit history... What am i to do? I do make about 600 a week and only pay about 600 a month in bills so the moneys there i just need to get my foot in the door! what do you recommend? |

Answer:
First of all, you should request a free credit report from credit bureaus. Very often banks turn down applications because the information they receive from credit bureaus is incomplete or incorrect. You need to make sure that there are no errors on your credit report. After you know that everything is correct you should apply for a credit card. Since you have an income that allows you to invest in your credit history we recommend you to start with a secured credit card. You need to make a bank deposit to serve as collateral and then request a card. It will be just like a regular credit card, your bank deposit will simply guarantee the bank that if something happens and you are not able to make your payments there are funds to use to pay off your debt. All your payment information will be sent to credit bureaus so you will start building your credit history. Here are secured cards we recommend: Applied Bank. Secured Visa® Credit Card. The bank will not check your income or credit history. The card has low 9.99% APR that will remain the same even if you miss a payment. Millennium Bank. Black Diamond Visa®. This card is also approved regardless of your credit history. It has an emergency cash transfer feature and extended warranty protection. If you would like to get an unsecured card your best choice will be one of the cards issued by First PREMIER, for example, Centennial Gold MasterCard®/Visa. It is a card for consumers with bad credit so there are chances you will be approved. |

ia a plus score of 9002 mean i have bad credit? |
|
Answer:
9002 is a code used by Experian credit card bureau to mark accounts with insufficient information to establish a credit score. That means that most banks will reject your credit card application because your risk score is not calculated. First of all, you need to contact the credit bureau to discuss the matter. Second, you need to start working on your credit history. The best solution in your situation will be to apply for a secured credit card. To get a secured card you need to make a bank deposit. This deposit will serve as collateral for your new credit account. All your payment activity will be reported to major credit bureaus and that should help you establish your credit history. We recommend the following cards: Secured Visa® Credit Card issued by Applied Bank. Your income and credit score do not matter. If you make a bank deposit your application will most likely be approved. The card has very low 9.99% APR on purchases that'll remain the same if you miss a payment. Black Diamond Visa® and Platinum MasterCard® issued by Millennium Bank. Applications for these cards are approved regardless of your credit score. They give extended warranty protection, auto rental insurance and an emergency cash transfer. |

hi need a credit card with no limits so i can transfer balances of my existing credit cards, so i save some money, can you help me? |
|
Answer:
Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, there are no cards that literally have no limits. Your credit line depends on your credit history and your income. The decision is made by the bank so you won't know your actual credit limit till you are approved for the card. The best solution for you will be to apply for a credit card with 0% APR or fixed low rate on balance transfer. Of course, you will be approved only if you have good credit history. Here are the best cards for balance transfer: Discover® Card. More Card. This card has 0% intro APR on purchases on balance transfer. You will have up to a year to pay off the balance transferred. The balance transfer charge is 3% but not more than $75. More Card is great for purchases because it gives you excellent rewards. American Express. Blue from American Express®. This card has very low fixed APR on balance transfer and 0% APR on purchases for up to 15 months. The balance transfer fee rate is also 3%. ($99 maximum). It also has a great rewards program. Chase Bank. Platinum Visa®. This is another card with 0% APR on balance transfer. The introductory rate is 12 months. The fee is 3% ($75 max). This card has no rewards but its ongoing APR is relatively low. Apply for the deal that you like best. If you won't be able to transfer balances from all you cards, you can apply for another card with 0% APR later. Just do not apply for several cards at once. Also keep in mind that having more than 5 credit cards looks bad on your credit report. |

can i transfer a balance if i am over my credit limit?SS |
|
Answer:
Technically you can transfer your balance to a new credit card even if you have gone over your credit limit on your old one. However, you need to keep in mind that exceeding your credit line might have a negative effect on your credit history. Before you apply for a new card to transfer your current debt you need to check your credit score. If your credit is still good you can apply for one of the offers with 0% APR on balance transfer.

what credit bearue they look at when you apply for a credit card like american express |
|
Answer:
It is difficult to say what banks request credit reports from a particular bureau. Most banks work with all four major bureaus but usually pull out one or two credit reports. To avoid problems you need to request credit reports from all credit bureaus yourself you make sure there are no discrepancies. If there are you should negotiate the issue with the bureau and make sure that all the information is correct.Cards offered by American Express are for good and excellent credit only. If your credit score is over 660 FICO points you have good chances to be approved. The best cards issued by American Express are: Clear from American Express®. It has 0% APR for purchases for 12 months, no annual fee and automatic rewards. It also has fixed low APR on balance transfers. Starwood Preferred Guest® Card. This is a great card for travelers. It has an excellent frequent flyer program that allows you to transfer your Starpoints to customer loyalty programs of more than 30 airlines. This card can also be used for charitable donations. True Earnings® Card from Costco and American Express. This is a great card for consumers. You can earn 3% cash back for gasoline, restaurants and travel and 1% everywhere else. This card has no maintenance fee. |

I need a credit card for Real Estate Investment purposes, with a low credit score is it possible to get a credit card with a limit of $5,000 or more? If so, how? |
|
Answer:
Unfortunately, it's hard to give you a comprehensive answer because we do not know your exact credit score. If it is lower than 350 FICO points the only credit cards you qualify for are offers for bad credit from First PREMIER. These cards have low credit limit (a few hundred dollars). But if you have poor credit we recommend you to apply for one of these cards to start improving your credit. Consider these credit offers:Centennial MasterCard®/Visa. This is one of the most popular cards among clients with poor credit. This offer comes with APR on purchases. No checking account or bank deposit is needed. All your payment activity will be reported to all four credit bureaus.Centennial Gold MasterCard®/Visa. If you make your first two payments on time you will get %50 credit limit increase. Almost all applications are accepted.If your credit score is between 350 - 619 FICO points you qualify for fair credit deals. Usually, credit limit for these cards is around $2,500-3,000. We recommend cards issued by Capital One such as Standard Platinum. This card has 0% APR for purchases until December, 2008. This card is also good for someone who has limited or no credit. |
