I started off with a credit card from my bank. I had a hard time paying this one off with the job that I had. Once I got it paid of, I got 2 more credit cards to be able to get my credit built back up. During the time, I purchased a car through my bank also, I onl had about a $8,000 loan with them. I have been good on my payments until July of 2006. I lost all my jobs and I didn't have a job for 3 months. I have gotten myself introuble with a few companies to help me purchase items over the interent.
