Hi, yes we've heard it all before. Long story short got a bad rating due to a student cc close to 2 yrs ago... Account closed involuntarily, no outstanding balance.
I'm considering some options to recover and get a normal credit rating ---
1. SECURED cc tied to FD (any particular recommendations? which bank fd/secured cards are good)
2. Take up small loan of maybe $500, make payments promptly to increase rating gradually over the next year or so.
I'm more towards option 2 because it's a little sian to put at least 10k away for one full year. BUT I don't know which bank will approve even a small loan with a rating of HH.
Any advice?
