Building/Re-building Credit

Unlike some credit unions, Union Square Federal Credit Union does not have a credit card program specifically for those starting to build a credit history or those with a blemished credit history. However, if you are qualified for membership to the credit union, you can try to apply for one. You may be given a 'secured' credit card with higher than their usual APRs, higher fees for late payment, and you may have to pay annual fees. You may also be required to have a co-signor or guarantor and your credit limit may be lower. However, take whatever opportunity there is to build or re-build your credit. If your credit application is disapproved, ask to be allowed to open an account so you can prove yourself to them. There are really no quick-fix solutions to repair or build credit. It takes some time. Meanwhile, practice having financial discipline.
