No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
My scores are:
Ex: 673(as of the 11th of August, but checked today and it says 717 on experian's site)
Eq: 725
TU: 734
No debts. Only one line of credit-a secured card I opened with Wells Fargo in February of this year(2012). Not sure when I should apply for a real credit card. I've never had one before. I'm getting offers in the mail, but I've declined to try thus far.
So with no debts, one secured card reporting and only a credit history going back to February of this year, should I apply for any actual credit cards? What can I do to help build my credit any further?

ETA... Welcome to the forums,
To understand the way we talk around here, study this ....Common Abbreviations , or make a copy to put next to your computer.
Where did you get your CS (credit scores)? Most creditor use FICO scores.
Suggest reading The Son Of Credit Scoring 101. to know the difference between FAKO's and FICO's
That will get you started, I'll let others chime in.
I think I commented on your post on the Credit Card forums. Didn't you also co-sign for a car loan and get a Lowes and Walmart car? That's 3 brand new TLS.
