Unsecured Credit Cards – Rebuild Your Credit History
Everyone makes mistakes. Those with not so good credit have made mistakes in the past. Because of irresponsible spending and unrestrained charging on credit cards the interest on the cards tend to catch up with the spender and cause billing nightmares for everyone concerned. However, even after all this a bad payer can still redeem himself from his dire situation by applying for unsecured credit cards.
Unsecured cards are cards offered by banks to help people with bad credit rebuild their credit histories. After a person with bad credit can find nowhere else to get credit because of a bad credit score, he can opt to clean up and start anew with a credit card that is unsecured. What makes this different from regular credit cards is that the charges and fees on the card are much higher, simply because the bank is taking a risk on giving a person with bad credit a credit line!
For those thinking of getting unsecured cards it is important to always check the fees that the bank will charge on your card monthly and make sure that you can make the payments. Do not get prepaid cards or catalog credit cards because these will do nothing to improve your credit history. Always pay your bills on time with at least the minimum monthly charge, or more. If you are diligent and cautious when using this credit card, you can be sure that you will be improving your credit score within a couple of months.

Credit Cards And Your Credit Score
Your credit score and credit card use are closely intertwined, with both effecting each other profoundly. The way you use your card can affect your credit rating for good or for ill, depending on how responsibly you use it and how prompt your payments are, but in this article we’ll be looking at how things work in the opposite direction, that is how your current credit score influences the kind of credit card you can expect to be approved for.
If you have an excellent credit rating then the whole range of cards on the market is available to you, providing that you meet minimum acceptance criteria such as salary level or residential status. You can expect to achieve a headline grabbing low interest rate, even within the single figure range, and you’ll be showered with extras such as cash back, rewards programs, balance transfer deals, and interest free shopping periods.
These kinds of deals are aimed at the financial elite among the population, and as you’d expect, most of us will have to settle for something a little less luxurious. If you have a decent but not outstanding credit score, with no major black marks such as defaults, then you’ll be able to choose from one of the mid-range cards. These cards will tend to offer generally unexciting features across the range, while boasting one or two stand-out features to attract attention. An example would be a card with a great cash back rate but a fairly high standard APR, or a card with an outstanding balance transfer offer but nothing in the way of rewards or cash back.
As we go further down the range of credit scores, the number of attractive features gets less while the standard APR gets higher. It also becomes harder to be approved, and applications for the cards in the best buy tables become more or less pointless. That’s not to say that there are no decent cards at this level, but you will have to look around a bit harder to find attractive features and low rates.
At the bottom rung of the credit card ladder we have cards specifically aimed at people with poor or no credit ratings. These cards charge extremely high interest rates, often in the region of 30% or even higher, and offer no extra inducements such as balance transfers. They will also tend to have a low credit limit, but with such high rates this is no bad thing – you’d want to avoid running up a debt in any case.
These cards are mainly beneficial for enjoying the convenience of a credit card while using it responsibly to build up a more positive credit profile for future applications for a better card.
If even these specialist cards are out of your reach because of a severely damaged credit rating, then this doesn’t have to mean you can’t carry plastic at all – there’s still the option of a secured or prepaid card which you need to load with funds before you use it. This of course means that they are not actually credit cards at all, but as they can be used in more or less the same way, they have many of the benefits in terms of payment convenience.
