You're taking the right approach...the only way you're going to improve your credit score is by diluting the BAD credit of your past with GOOD credit data in your present and future. You may have to pay an annual fee, but in the long run it's worth it. Just keep balances low and pay on time, every time. It might take six, nine, maybe even twelve months for your score to really change, but it will. And in two or three years you will be MUCH further ahead than you would have been had you sat on the sidelines of the credit "game" and waited for those negatives to age off.

I also have the orchard card and it took them a while to get me my card after I was approved as well but their Customer Service Dept is awsome and so friendly. plus I believe  you can pay online without any fees.

Congrats on the cards.  Keep banging away at repair though before you jump on further rebuilding.

you could also try www.myimaginecard.com they have a fee that is charged to the card but it has worked great for us and my husband even got a credit limit increase after having the card for only 4 month. I am still waiting on mine mad smiley LOL I have not had mine but 3 months but I love it even though it is a low limit. I can make my payment on line with out any fees



What is imagine card are they pretty popular and do they report to all three bureaus? Also do you think i would get approved if i have score like these Eq-621 Ex-550 Tu-No Score! As you can see im just starting out!
Rebuilding and Reducing Debt, is my game plan.

sbk, if all you have is a limited history you may want to look into a credit union. most of the popular ones are eq only pullers.
