<p>You know, I kinda like the word ‘<strong>Credit</strong>’ since when I was a kid! It always seemed something rich, something precious, interesting to me. Later when I came to know about <strong>credit score, credit history</strong> and such other things like this it seemed complicated to me but my childish interest about credit, about <strong>how to build credit history from scratch</strong> didn’t go down. Instead a challenge in my mind to have a better credit history than the people I personally knew grew up. In this post I’m going to talk on the fact that we should use to <strong>make a good credit history</strong><span id="more-204"></span>.</p>

<h3>Ways Of Building A Good Credit History</h3>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">Start Off With A Healthy Credit History</p>
</div>
<h4>Open Checking &amp; Savings Accounts:</h4>
<p>This is a primary step on your way to get your <strong>credit card</strong>. Since you can’t have one before being 18, you can open a joint account with somebody adult and can be legally held to a contract, many banks have no problem letting you open an account.</p>
<h4>Basics of Credit Scoring:</h4>
<p>For getting start with you need to know that the <strong>two most valuable parts</strong> in your credit scores are firstly if you pay your bills on time and How much of your available credit you actually use.</p>
<p>You have to be careful about paying your bill always in time. It happens that people forget sometimes to pay bills. For that you can <a href="http://joshpin.com/how-to-setup-automatic-smsemail-reminder-for-next-payments/">set up automatic payments or reminder systems</a> so that you never forget.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll always have to keep in mind that you should never exceed the limit of any of your credit cards. You should always keep the expense limit under 30%. If you can keep it <strong>under 10%</strong> then that&#8217;d be great!</p>
<h4>Secured Credit Card:</h4>
<p>After making a checking account you should ask your bank if they offer <strong>secured credit cards</strong>. Getting a regular card to start up with aint actually that easy. So, A secured credit card will obviously help! This cards are just like unsecured cards. The difference is that it gives an assurance that whatever money you take as a debt from the bank will be paid in time.</p>
<p>Well, these were primary things to do to start with a good credit history. More posts following this one will be posted soon discussing the facts for <strong>maintaining a good healthy credit history</strong>. Hope you’ve liked the post.

<p>Last week i have said, why you should check your credit report regularly? Now, in this post i will say how you can get your <strong>absolute free copy of credit report</strong> and the numeric mask of your credit worthiness “<strong>Credit Score</strong>“.<br />
<span id="more-4"></span><br />
At first i wanna say, unfortunately you will get only one credit report for free from <strong>3 major credit bureaus</strong> (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) once a year, although i shared a tip on Did You Check Your Credit Report Last Month? And you may already noticed that now there are many types of score available in the market, although FICO credit score is still now popular. However, fortunately not only <abbr title="Fair Isaac Corporation">FICO</abbr> but also other scores are also free for you.</p>
<h3>Free Credit Report:</h3>
<p>You may know i already wrote about government official website  <a style="text-decoration: line-through;" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.annualcreditreport.com/" target="_blank">annualcreditreport.com</a> where you will get your free copy of credit report. So it will be boring if i write same stuff here. Please check Did You Check Your Credit Report Last Month? and look on <strong>#At First Check Your Credit Report for Free</strong>. And must avoid FreeCreditReport.com</p>
<h3>Free Credit Scores:</h3>
<p>It is true and also you have to understand that you will not get your score for free unless you will not sign up for any finance or credit related service (exception are <strong>Credit Karma and Quizzle</strong>) and fortunately many of them offering <strong>free trial offer</strong>. Just you have to sign up for any service and after receiving your score you will cancel the offer. Sound pretty hot, right? Don’t worry, go ahead.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Free FICO Credit Score:</h4>
<p>FICO stand for <em>Fair Isaac Corporation</em>. As i said earlier it is most popular then other score. And i already published a post about how you can get your free FICO score.</li>
<li>
<h4>Other Scores:</h4>
<p>From following sites you will get 3 major credit bureau’s score. It’s recommended to check all.</p>
<ol>
<li><a style="text-decoration: line-through;" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.creditkarma.com/" target="_blank">Credit Karma</a>: They are providing <strong>Transunion score</strong> and it’s not required to sign up any service and also credit card information isn’t required.</li>
<li><a style="text-decoration: line-through;" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.joshpin.com/go/CreditReport" target="_blank">CreditReport.com</a>: You will get 3 bureaus scores. They are providing <strong>FICO from Equifax and Experian, Transunion scores</strong>. After trial (Free with 7-day credit monitoring trial) they will charge $14.95/month.</li>
<li><a style="text-decoration: line-through;" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.quizzle.com/" target="_blank">Quizzle</a>: Here also not required any CC information and they are providing <strong>Experian score</strong>.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Hope you will able to <a href="http://www.joshpin.com/">save your credit card money</a> and <strong>if you like my effort</strong>, please remember to subscribe on my blog <a style="text-decoration: line-through;" title="Subscribe to RSS" rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/Joshpin" target="_blank">RSS FEED</a> or <a style="text-decoration: line-through;" title="Get Free Email Update" rel="nofollow" href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=Joshpin&amp;loc=en_US" target="_blank">Free Email Subscription</a> for next updates.</p>
