I can’t remember the company name, but you sign up, pay 9.95 and they send you a credit card to use with their affiliate companies to help rebuild your credit. You start off paying 51% of total price and the rest is made in payments, they report to the major credit beareau when payments are made on time, or even if they’re not. Can’t remember the website for the life of me. Anybody have any idea what it is?

o’really asked:


I have a credit card through chase bank. I will be going out of town in the next couple weeks and I would like to pay for things while there with my credit card instead of carrying cash around with me. [I have the money so I wont be getting myself into debt and I'll pay it off immediately]
I hate calling the customer service because I can never hear/understand them and I don’t like the additional fee you recieve for just talking to them. Is there a way I can request an increase online?
I have a limit of 2,000 right now.

How do I get a secured credit card if my ChexSystems record is bad?

SecuredPlz asked:


I’ve been trying to frantically repair my credit after thousands of dollars was stolen from a bank account of mine about a year ago. After the money was stolen, my bank was forced to shut down my account and report me to ChexSystems. I would love to get a secured credit card and begin repairing my credit, but all of the secured credit card applications that I have come across are affiliated with banks that use ChexSystems. I understand that secured credit cards are issued after a person has deposited money into a savings account with the issuing bank. But, what if my ChexSystems record is bad? If I try to apply for a secured credit card that is issued by a bank that uses ChexSystems, would I be denied? If so, where else would I be able to get a secured credit card?
