Re: New credit card listed as secured on credit report

I started disputing all the negatives on my credit file. Three dropped off so far. I guess I just need to give it some time.

Reporting as secured will have no effect on your score.  It will not look bad.  

 

It is a good thing to start building new history right away so that as bad things age and fall away you are left with good credit.

You should only dispute items you truly believe are incorrect and not just because they are possibly hurting your score. In fact part of the forum's Credit Repair Discussion Guidelines says this:

 

The only credit repair discussions allowed in FICO Forums are ones that exchange information on how to correct or remove real errors from your credit report – not accurate information that you want to get rid of because it may be negatively affecting your credit score.
