So I been on my self improvement tip and there is a list of things I am trying to accomplish in 2-3 years. On that list is raising my credit score.
586 ): How I handled my student loans man Also had some hospital bills that went to my moms house and she never told me so they all went to collections
Anyway based on the research I did.
- Get a credit card
- Buy stuff you would normally afford just to pay it off
- Make sure not to pay it in full every month but make sure to pay much more than the minimum amount
- Don't get credit cards you will not use
- Do not hit the maximum allowed on credit cards
- and all the obvious stuff
So what would be the appropriate type of card to put $500 on and how long should I take to pay it off?
What worked for you?
