I got a secured credit card when will i see my credit score improve?
I have not used the card yet but i’d like to know how soon it will take before i start seeing my credit score start to improve?
Hi,
It is a nice idea to use a secured credit card to build up your credit history or re-built a damaged one. Although a damaged one takes more time, but there are catches. If you want to build fast your score and credit rating do these:
1) Never have more than 2 credit cards. If you are starting with credit card and no company is giving to you; have a secured credit card and keep one.
2) Use up to 30% of your credit card limit for bills. Try to keep between 30%-35%. Lenders want to see if you are being responsible with your lending. For 3000K limit don’t go over 1000K. Let’s say you need at least 500$ because this is what you spend; Well than it is recommended fo you to have a secured credit card of $1500
3)Always try to pay in full your credit card bills, if you cannot: pay the minimum; NEVER forget to pay. If you forget to pay that will harm your credit score badly
Do this for 6 – 12months and you will be able to get a credit card;

When you use it make sure you replace all of it each month.
No games.
A secured loan will not improve your credit drastically.
It is when this card turns into a credit card that you will see the improvement.
Credit takes time to build – a lot of time.
When it turns into a credit card – remember to pay in full each month.
Carrying balances not only destroys scores – it can destroy your life.

Back two years ago was 550. All I did was to get rid of extra credit cards, supermarket cards or whatever cards merchants were trying to push me. Also I increased my limit to keep the 30% range.
