    How do I get my credit up if I can't get anything?
    I applied for a gas credit card, bank credit card. I was only able to get a debit card/check card. I can't get anything... What do I do to get my credit score up?

    I am only $2100.00 in debt now. I was $10,000 in debt last year... nothing is helping!

    Just keep paying everything on time and don't apply for anything for about six months.you will see that your credit rating will go up.

    Try orchard, juniper, and hooterscard. They are all pretty lenient with their credit. Let us know how it goes. Send me a PM if you need website addresses.
