The Only Kind Of Credit Card Debt That You Should Ever Have
Rueda
I know that we all are all taught that credit card debt is a bad thing. I typically agree with this as all debt is bad debt. There is however a certain form of credit card debt that is essential for certain individuals to have. This debt is vital to the success of their future financial buying power. What is this form of debt?
The answer is secured credit card debt.
Secured credit card debt is appropriate for individuals looking to rebuild their credit. You might need to rebuild your credit for any of the following reasons:
- too many financial obligations
- job loss
- foreclosure
- repossession
- bankruptcy
- neglect
Secured credit cards are the best tool for rebuilding your credit. In order to qualify for a secured card, you have to make a deposit into a bank account with the card company. Your account is backed up by the deposits in the bank account. Your credit limit is equal to the deposit amount.
For example, if you want $500 worth of credit, you will have to deposit $500. Secured credit cards are perfect for people with no credit or bad credit. The best way to use secured credit is to buy an item and pay the balance off immediately. Keep the card for a year and you will start receiving offers for an unsecured credit card with a higher limit.
Stay away from secured cards with high fees such as cards from Next Millenium and First Premier Bank. These cards come loaded with all sorts of fees that will only help to further destroy your already weak credit rating. If you are looking to rebuild your credit, this is my favorite credit card.
