Project EX asked:
Hello, i applied for 2 credit card applications within a week and got declined. This is because, i am 18, and only have 2 bank accounts with no credit on file. When i paid $15 yesterday to see my credit score, it reported as having “no score”. So i guess my declined accounts don’t count, expect for the inquiry right?

And say i do have credit, how much does a decline account do for a credit card.
Also 1 more question: What is the easiest card to get, ive tried:
1. Texaco
2. Best Buy
3. Bank of America
any ideas?

I am a college student who is trying to get a credit card. I just recieve a copy of my credit report, that I ordered because I have been turned down for credit twice. I have six inquiries that are on my report, all of which are correct. Three of which is from citibank (from a checking, savings and e-saving account) I opened with them. I did not know that they did credit checks before approving a savings of checking account. Anyway with the six inquiries that I have and two student loans both issued on 9/2006 and a 579 credit score. What credit cards if any can I get?
I tried applying for a citibank card but i got turned down. I also tried chase and they told me I have too many recent request for credit…

I have 9 credit cards (yes I know that is too many) With in the last week I have paid off 3 of them.

I was planning on paying off two more when I get paid next week.
Would it be better credit score wise to pay off the cards or pay them down significantly.
I had originally planned to pay off all but one before the end of June.

Gary asked:
I understand on how important the credit score is when applying for an unsecured loan, a home, financing a car or trying to get a credit card but why is it a factor for job consideration? So any Human Resource people and/or Hiring Managers care to respond and explain why a person’s credit score even comes into play?

I was looking at my credit score and I want to get it back up. One of the issues is I do not have any credit cards open. I have two closed credit accounts. I am trying to figure if it is better to open an account right now or pay off some things and wait to open an account after I paid off somethings.

Robert G asked:
I ordered a free credit report and there was an error. I disputed it and received a response that it was fixed, but could not see an updated report on their web site or a corrected score. Their web site says that they will send a report unless filed online. The report I see is still the old report and the score is also not updated so did I waste $8 on a bad score? I called and they want more money to tell me what the correct score should be and want me to pay for another report with the correction as well. Does anyone know how to get a good score and report from them after a dispute online?

I have excellent credit right now but am thinking of taking a home improvement’s store up on their promotion of 12 months no interest & no payments. I always have it paid off within 3 months when I’ve done this with other cards. However, I would like to know how many points my score will lower with a new account.
