Sub Prime Credit Cards
Filed Under mortgage
Dan Moskel asked:
A sub prime card was designed for those with a low credit score. It was created to give people a second chance with their credit history.
They can be used to improve a low credit score. This is because it can create a positive payment history and improve your ratio of available credit to debt.
These two factors are very important when your score is being calculated. If these two factors are good then you can create a good credit score even with negative items on your credit report.
There is monthly credit reporting with these cards. You should expect an APR of 19% and you will have some fees for these cards. This is the cost of a low score, however used correctly and this can be the last time you have a cost due to your score.
Most of these cards come with a $300 credit limit. However some cards such as the Tribute MasterCard will also approve individuals for a $70 credit limit and many will offer periodic limit increases.
These cards will help your score more that a secured credit card. This is because a secured card is reported to the bureaus as a secured account and will not impact your score as much as an unsecured account.
It is still wise to remove negative items from your report. However it has been discovered that once a negative item ages four years it will have much less impact on your score.
For you to get the most out of your card you should strive to keep the monthly balance at 25% of your credit limit. This is because it shows the bureaus that you are using your card responsibly and that you do in fact use your card.
If you have; collections, charge offs, judgments, bankruptcy, or a repossession you can still be approved for this card. Each card will have different requirements for approval and you will get an immediate decision when you apply.
In sum if you have made mistakes in the past with your credit and want a second chance we suggest a sub prime card. It can improve your ratio of available credit to debt and build a positive payment history.
