This information is absolutely great. I believe the majority of people don't realise how important their credit score is. you need a good creit score to ensure that whenever you need a mortgage, loan etc you will get it without any hassles. So it is very important to keep an eye on your credit score from time to time. .-= Jim@Credit Score Interpretation´s last blog ..How Do I Interpret My Credit Score? =-.

One of the best ways to establish credit, or pad your credit is by opening a secured account that can quickly be converted in to an unsecured account.
Take $500.00 walk into BofA and open a secured account.
They will put the money in a savings account to guarantee future payments.
You will receive a card for your use that is secured by the funds you placed in savings.
Use the card once a month for small purchases and be sure to pay the account off each month. Be sure your payments are made timely!
After 6 months, BofA will likely convert the account to unsecured and you can withdraw your $500.00.
Wash, rinse, repeat as necessary. Historically, $500.00 is the minimum to establish the account.

To anyone else w/ problems renting due to a low credit score/etc – a few years ago my husband moved to the area as a recent grad, and was looking for a job. I was in school w/ a decently-paying SUMMER job – i.e. no real income. I had great credit, my husband had bad credit. Found a great condo to rent on Craigslist, where the owner herself had been in my shoes 5 years ago, so she didn’t require a double deposit like apartment complexes & property-manager companies. Lesson – avoid the inflexible businesses, go private!
