Can you find applications I meen...do you have to wait for them to offer you one? And do they ever give you one even though you dont have any credit?

Credit cards are easy to get.  TOO easy if you ask me.  You can apply online, call the company, or apply through your bank.  BE CAREFUL though because they will give you a card and a maximum limit and it is so easy to just start spending.  I have a friend who racked up credit cards when she was 17 and 18 and she barely, barely paid them off (she is 27).  They are not your friends.  Make a habit of only spending what you make and having one to only use in emergencies like unexpected car repair.  Good luck and God bless.

Some employers will do a credit check as part of a background search for a job applicant. Bad credit or a bankruptcy may disqualify you as a possible candidate.

I have one and I dont recall on how long it took to get one (you could probably call) but Capital one is the only credit card company Ive found for people with so-so credit that actually isnt so bad...  word of advice... if you got a card with an annual fee... a week or 2 before the annual fee is to be charged call them and most times they will cut it in half or remove it

You probably use it to check the status of your application on line.  You need to wait now to see if  you get a letter of acceptance.

Yes, but your application is not be processed on time and you may have to pay out your pocket until your funds come in.

Having a history of good, revolving credit (finger hut, Mervyns, Sears, JC Penney) will help you.  Just use it.  If you buy one thing, once, that won't really help.  I got a card at Mervyns and bought maybe one item every three months.  It helped me.  I had a great credit history but "lack of revolving accounts".

Amazingly, I dom't think there is one.\n\nI would contact them directly and ask them how to purchase credit. There must be a way as they have a table of pricing!

well, you probably mean financial aid?  spelled aid not aide.  I assume your grades arent that great, so that avenue is out, maybe you are poor or a minority, you could try that card.

Might want to try checking your SPAM inbox.  We seem to get tons of these emails of companies that will help rebuild bad or no credit w/a credit card.

How are you coming to the conclusion that you have average credit?  Four places have turned you down.  That's hardly average!  You are being denied because your credit is well below average, especially given the ones that turned you down.\n\nEach time you get another credit card, your credit score drops.  Each time you apply for another one, your score drops.\n\nMost financial advisors recommend that you carrry two general use credit cards (Visa, MC or Discover) and no more than one oil company and one retail store card IF you are a regular customer.  Anything more than that is going to hurt your credit rating even more.

If you have a creditor that you already owe - they can periodically check on your record but they don't get in depth reports.  You have to give a company permission to pull a credit report on you.  If you don't they don't have the right to do so.  \n\nWhen you get offers in the mail that say you are qualified (not sure if this is what you question has to do with)  but those offers are not based on your total credit report.  It is only based on basic info that is not totally private.  It is a prelimiary kind of credit worthiness they look for.  Like maybe if you fall within a certain group (with a certain fico score or something) they will send you offers just incase you are interested in them.

Anyone can.  I applied a few years back and I live in Ireland.  Wasn't successful tho.  :o(

Applying for "a bunch" in the last six months is negative toward your credit history.  Stop by your local bank and see if you can borrow a small personal loan...or maybe buy a car?

It is REALLY unlikely that an employer is going to check your credit history.  Even if they claim they have that right, or you give them that right when you fill out the application.\n\nThere are plenty of other ways to get screwed when trying to find a job, this one should probably be at the bottom of your list of things to worry about.\n\nGood luck.

just fill it out once but make sure that you do each school's supplements if they require it\n\nlike, three schools you are applying to asks for common app - you fill out the application once but you have to fill out three supplements because you are applying to three schools.\n\ni think it also combines all the payments to one big bill as well.

Contact any trucking company dealing with this and ask them if they are hiring for a driver or loading boy.  Maybe you would be lucky enough to get hired there.  Do you know why people build good credit?  So when they want to open their own business and don't have any down payment money their good credit vouches that they are dependable and can be accounted for.  If you don't have neither the money or the credit-who do you think will trust you even with one dollar? That is why they keep saying-pay your bills on time and never be late, you will need your good credit some day.   Well, apparently you thought that it was some kind of a joke ah!
