Michael Petruccelli asks; What are some tips for giving your credit score a boost? (17)



Michael Petruccelli says;  Open a secured card
If you can’t qualify for a traditional credit card, open a secured one. Secured credit cards are backed by money you put into a deposit account, so they’re low risk to the lender and easier to get. You’ll boost your credit score by paying on time each month, and many creditors will allow you to later graduate to an unsecured card. And you’ll get your full deposit back.
