Improve Credit Scores by Adding Positive Credit
by Lisa Phillips
January 2008
There are many companies that do not
require strict credit guidelines. These
companies extend credit to consumers
with little to no credit history and bad credit.
The drawback to obtaining a credit card for
bad credit is that you may have to pay
higher interests rates.
However, if you pay on time and keep your
balances to less than 30% of your
available credit limit, you will build positive
credit and soon qualify for lower interest
rate credit cards.
