Re: Nobody laugh...but

Thank you!!! I guess I shouldn't really say rebuilding, bc I've never had a CC, but I had medical collections that I had to have wiped off, so I feel like I'm rebuilding! LOL!

Congrats!  I think I only got 300 at first with mine and it wasn't my first card, so 400$ isn't so bad to start!  It will grow if treated right, it's GE  Smiley Wink

 

Everyone get's their first card somewhere.  Sorry to hear you had to deal with medical collections  Smiley Sad  that can happen to about anyone, not a lot of control over medical needs frankly.

A lot of people have to start with secured cards or high apr fees so I think you are doing very well. Way to go!!!!!! Smiley Happy
