No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Long story short.
I have one collection account in the amount of $691, which according to TU should be deleted in December 2014. I am going to try and see if I can get an early exclusion deletion this coming week.
Also, I have a school loan I recently got back on track about 4 months ago. Long story on that one, but I had a few missed payments recently due to a miscommunication on my part.
Those are the only bad marks on my credit.
I know I shouldn't have, but I applied for two cards a Discover IT and I think Barclays rewards a few days ago. I was denied by both. My score is a 664 currently.
What should I do from here? Obviously try and get the collections account deleted and or wait for it to fall off. I plan on keeping my school loan up to date also.
But when should I app for cards? What cards should I go after? I currently have zero cards, I haven't touched my credit in about 7 years. So I have nothing recent on my credit and I would like to start building,
thanks.
