Sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddinkcredit.com\/\"><strong>Redd Ink Credit<\/strong><\/a> offer an improvement of your credit score, plus other goodies, such as personalized tips on how you can improve it. If you have a co-signer, like a parent or a partner, and you aren\u2019t yet able to get approved for things on your own\u2014you can open up joint accounts with them so you have access to credit sooner than later. (Just be sure not to abuse it!) You can even use an app called EarnUp that links directly with your bank account and lets you earn cashback on everyday purchases from places like Target or Walmart; those payments are then automatically deposited into your account. Over time these small deposits will help build up your credit score.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9533144 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9533144\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2: Know your options<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25ec8d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"25ec8d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThere are several options when it comes to building your credit. One is to take out a secured credit card, which requires you to put down a security deposit, typically equal to your spending limit. Another option is asking an existing creditor for a line of credit on top of what you already have. Keep in mind that using someone else\u2019s money will increase your interest rate and may not be worth it if you don\u2019t plan on paying off the balance right away. If neither of these options sounds appealing to you, then checking into a secured credit union might be best because they tend to offer lower rates than most banks. Other alternatives include borrowing from family or friends, financing education, or even refinancing your mortgage (which can boost your score by reducing debt). Whatever option you choose, remember that establishing a good credit history starts with understanding all of them and picking one that works for you.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd4fa5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fd4fa5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3: Understand your credit score<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3a1cc7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c3a1cc7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBefore you can start building your credit, you need to know how it works.

It\u2019s also important to have an idea of where you stand with your credit before shopping around for credit cards or loans; without knowing your current standing, other players in the field have no idea where they should put their money either. For example, if banks see that consumers are paying off their debts and using a variety of different accounts responsibly, they may be more willing to offer low-interest rates on loans\u2014which could help you save big later.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fcdee37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fcdee37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4: Know what factors into your credit score<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82d6bae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"82d6bae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCredit scores are one of those mysterious, misleading numbers you often hear but never understand. While your age doesn\u2019t affect your credit score directly, it does impact how long you\u2019ve had a particular line of credit open. It takes about 2 years for an account to show up in your report, meaning that if you have many accounts open within a short time, it will throw off your ratio. Be sure to know what goes into calculating your credit score before starting down any paths towards building or rebuilding yours. Doing so can help ensure you\u2019re maximizing your efforts while achieving positive results.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b6fa3f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9b6fa3f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5: Don\u2019t close credit cards you don\u2019t use<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba7388d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ba7388d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe number of credit cards you have isn\u2019t as important as how many you use regularly. Closing a card can hurt your credit score, so don\u2019t close a card just because it isn\u2019t active. Make sure your payment history is up-to-date by using your card every once in a while (even if it\u2019s just for a small purchase) and watch your credit scores rise with each passing month. And remember: You don\u2019t need an official credit building reason to use your card. \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43cd5bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43cd5bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDon&#8217;t let those zero-percent teaser APRs pass you by\u2014just make sure you pay off your balance in full when that special deal ends. You don\u2019t want to be saddled with high-interest payments down the road! Pay on time! Being late or missing a payment will damage your credit in no time flat. Just like closing an account lowers your overall credit limit, missing payments hurt your average account age and length of credit history, which are just as important. Try setting reminders on your phone calendar whenever it&#8217;s due date time; then stick to them! Consider student loans part of regular debt: If you&#8217;re fortunate enough to qualify for student loans through education programs like Stafford Loans or Perkins Loans, go ahead and take advantage! Just know that repaying these loans should be considered part of regular debt along with mortgages, car loans, and everything else.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building credit from scratch isn\u2019t as hard as you might think.
