Does it mean my credit is improving if I am starting to get Credit Card offers. Example, Capitol one keeps sending me offers...


I've received alot of those 'Bad Credit' offers in the mail, as well. All I can say is becareful and read the fine print. Just remember, too,......every time you apply for ANY kind of credit, your Credit Score drops a few points. If you have loans, CC's, etc., right now, then I would just continue paying on them. Your Credit Score WILL go up as your debt goes down!! (At times, I don't have alot of patience will this, either!!LOL).

I need some advice. My husband has several credit cards that he took out just to buy stock. The rates have gone to 25percent from zero. Tried to get home equity loan but, could not quality. When the rates would go up he would just get another card at zero percent. That is no longer working. What can I do?

In this economy those 0% offers are few. Your husband needs to unload the stock to pay off the credit cards before they go up to 30%! Whatever you've gained in the stock market will be wiped out by the high interest rate on the credit cards. Plus every time you apply for credit, whether credit card or loan, your credit score takes a hit, which in turn affects your ability to get ANY type of credit. Perhaps it's time to seek credit counseling from a non-profit agency before you get buried in debt.:(
