Credit Cards For Bad Credit 5 Things You Should
Know
  • People who have bad rating are likely hoping to
    rebuild their credit score. There are many
    different reasons for damaged credit, but there
    is always a way to rebound. One of the best ways
    to begin the rebuilding process is to open a new
    loan line. Fortunately, there are credit cards
    for bad credit. Although these cards may look
    good on the surface, it is important to do some
    investigating before applying for one of these
    cards or accepting any offers. People with scores
    below 550 are likely to have very limited
    options. Almost all banks will require some kind
    of deposit or monthly fee before granting a
    credit line.

  • 1-Before applying for any card, get informed. It
    is important everybody knows their credit score.
    Do not be bullied into high interest rates,
    ridiculous monthly fees or a steep deposit. Those
    who know their credit score will be able to
    bargain for a better rate.
  • 2-Only take a card that will report payment
    history to the major credit bureaus. This is
    crucial to the reestablishing of ones credit
    score. Regular payments are one of the fastest
    ways to rebuild poor credit as well as
    establishing a solid credit history. However, if
    the bank does not report the payments the credit
    line will not help the credit score.

  • 3-Once a credit line has been accepted, it is
    important to keep the balance low. Credit scores
    are negatively impacted by cards that have high
    balances. It is something referred to as debt
    ratio. Future lenders will be less likely to lend
    to those who have credit cards near the limits.
  • 4-After a person has had one of the credit cards
    for bad credit for at least a year and all
    payments have been made on time, it is time to
    apply for another card. Apply for a card that is
    not secured and has a lower interest rate. Keep
    in mind the best interest rates are reserved for
    scores above 700. It may take a little time to
    get there, but with a dedicated approach to
    rebuilding a credit score, it can be done.

  • 5-Weigh the options presented carefully. Look for
    a good balance of monthly fees and interest
    rates. Do not be fooled by a low interest rate
    and a high monthly fee or vice versa. Avoid cards
    that charge high interest rates and exorbitant
    monthly fees or annual fees. Often times cards
    will be offered with a low credit limit that is
    ate up the first month with an annual fee and a
    high interest.
  • Each person will have to choose the right credit
    card based on their own needs and current credit
    scores. Credit companies are naturally a little
    leery about extending credit to somebody who
    doesnt have a proven track record. It isnt
    anything personal, it is just business. By using
    these tips, a person will be able to make an
    informed decision about what credit cards for bad
    credit will work for them.
