Secured Loan
Do you want to build new accounts on your credit report? I have a way that can help you. FICO credit score likes types of credit on your credit report. Often times people are building credit with just secured credit cards. You can add an installment loan to your credit report. I found a lender that does this and it works differently from a typical loan. Rather than borrowing money up front, you make fixed monthly payments into a savings account for a specific period of time. The bank reports your payments to the credit bureaus, allowing you to build a new installment loan. At the end of the loan term, you can access the money in the savings account so I feel it is a win, win.
Here is my link to get this credit-builder loan:
Remember how I said FICO credit score is 35% payment history, so this can start helping with that part of the score. 30% are regarding balances so keep the credit card balance low. 10% of the score is types of credit, that is why if you get a...

Are you forgetting these 3 important ways to protect your identity?
No foolin’! Protecting your identity is no joke.

Identity Theft
Unless you’ve been touched by it or have known someone who’s been a victim, you may not think much about identity theft. However, according to the Bureau of Justice, each year about 17.6 million Americans or 7 percent of the population are victims of ID theft. That’s each year! About 2 in 5 of us have either been victims or know someone who has, according to one statistic. Another report states that financial losses add up to about $50 billion each year! To me, these numbers mean that we’re all likely to be affected by ID theft at some point if we haven’t been already; or worse, we’re being victimized right now and do not even know it.
The good news is we can each take simple steps to protect ourselves and our families and stop ID thieves in their tracks. Here are three easy actions you can take:

Should You Accept That Higher Credit Limit On Your Credit Card?
You open the mailbox and there’s an envelope addressed to you. It’s not a bill (who wants bills???) so you tear open the envelope. Is it a letter from your favorite aunt? Is it a few photographs from a friend’s recent trip? Is it a letter from a secret admirer?
No, it’s a letter from your credit card company and they’re writing to tell you some exciting news: You’ve been approved for a higher credit limit. All you need to do is call them back and tell them that you’re interested in accepting it.
Your first thought is: “Wow, a higher credit limit! Just imagine what I could do with that!!!”
And your second thought is: “Hmmmm… do I NEED a higher credit limit? That just means I could potentially owe more money.”
A higher credit limit on your credit card could be good or it could be bad. If you’re hoping I give you just one answer, sorry; that’s not what you’ll get from me...
