It seems people used to easily obtain a credit card but I can’t find anything on the internet that will let me easily get a credit card. (Perhaps I don’t need one.) My credit isn’t lengthy, but it’s not terrible, it’s just not good either.

Some credit card companies want you to pay money to activate the card or give them your bank account info. I ain’t doing that.

I got my credit report today and it shows that my total credit amount is $300 and I have $296 available. After further inspection I noticed that only one credit card had reported a credit limit/max balance and that all of my credit cards hadn’t been reported since April. Is there an effective way to contact the credit card companies and get them to report accurate and up to date information to the credit bureaus? I feel that this issue is affecting my credit score, so I would like to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

We have about $100K in credit card debt. I’m trying to get it under control, however, I’m back in the same big hole every month due to interest. I have looked into credit counseling services, everyone wants to charge you some large fee for negotiating with credit card companies. I want to try to do this myself. Does anyone have any suggestions, points or tips for doing this?

When I make a purchase with my debit card and go home to check my bank account , the purchase is already in the system. But when I use my credit card it takes at least a couple days. If there are any credit card companies that process as fast as using a debit card, please let me know, Thanks
