I am going to ask another question regarding which CC should I add to my credit card profile to add to my rewards. I have excellent credit, pay my balance in full each month, and I use my CC to pay for everything I can to rack up points/miles etc.

I am at a point where I want to increase my points and miles so there are some options. The question is, what is too much. I basically share a VISA with my wife, and have an older VISA that i keep. I realize that you should keep older credit cards for history. I want to add at least one AM/EX either the Starwood points, or the Delta Miles. I also might switch our Cap1 card to the signature to get 2 points for every $1 spent, instead of 1.25 for $1. That is a new card, not a switch. And recently, I have received letters for UNITED miles (20,000 bonus) and AA Miles (21,000 Bonus). I would love to use those just to add to my miles on those flights. Could I add 3-4 cards without hurting my excellent credit? I will not rack up debt.

I have atleast 4 major credit debts that was in the early 90′s i thought bad debt only remains on your credit for no longer than 7 years its almost over 10 years but they still show up on my credit reports. Is there anything I can go legally to take those off my credit history, Specially now that I am trying to rebuild my credit.

I just turned eighteen at the end of February, so I have limited credit history.
I was wondering what credit card is used for building credit, and would be the best choice for a person getting they’re first credit card.

Li asked:


I am thinking of those who do not have a credit card and pay for everything by check and cash. How is their credit rated? Is it based on a loan for example (car, student, etc.) and what if it is their first time applying for such a loan? How is their credit history looked at then? What if someone is applying for an apartment rental and does now own a credit card?

I have always wondered this.

Also, some people, after having paid off their debt, switch to using cash or check only, but apparently no activity at all on your credit card accounts isn’t good either.

Any input?

How does a college grad get a credit card with no credit history and no employment history? Can someone cosign to get one?
No one told me you needed a credit history to get a card and experience to get a job (only a degree for getting a job)

In other words, if someone with absolutely no credit history does a credit check, what is that person’s score?

I’m wanting to establish good credit but I don’t know where to start. I don’t want high interest and I know if you don’t have credit history, your credit is bad. Please tell me which credit card I should get. Thanks.

Screaming Llama asked:


I just applied for my first credit card ever yesterday, and I am hoping to get a credit limit of at least $1,500. I have no credit history whatsoever, I don’t have to make a house payment, no dependents, and I make $12.10 an hour working 35-40 hours a week. Would all those factors contribute to a higher or lower credit limit, and do you think I’d be eligible for the $1,500 limit?

Sooner asked:


One of my credit cards only reports to TransUnion, and my student loan lender only reports to Equifax and Experian. Can I request each of them to report to all 3 bureaus or do they only follow their company’s policy?

Specifically, can I require them to do so?

My account was closed by the bank due to number of credit cards I have and high balance. I will be able to close all in 6 months. Can other banks close my credit card accounts as well? What is the best way to handle it?
Thanks for the answers but my problem is:

I have one card which was closed by the bank and limit on one other were reduced. I am afraid that this will create a domino effect and all other banks will start to close my accounts. How possible is this? Another question is: how bad will the effect of a closed account by the creditor will be on my credit history?

Thanks guys for your answers
