bad credit

What is the difference between a credit score and a credit report?

I did my research and I realized that i have a good credit report standing.

I only have 2 accounts that I am currently using.
Out of those two, for one I do have a balance but I always pay my bills on time except for two times when i was late because, the credit card company gave me the wrong due dates
They did remove the late fees however.
But 7 open in total.
5 unused
Two of them are sallie mae for school
and the other
1 for victorias secret- never used it. If I do use it I pay it once the bill comes
and the other two i dont plan on using.

Does that mean I have a bad credit score?

How long can a bank keep a delinquency on a credit report?

Back in 1997, I ran into some financial trouble and took out a loan for the balance on a mobile home I once owned. I defaulted on the loan that year, but it is still on my credit report. I wrote letters to the bank and to the credit reporting agencies, and this is still on my credit report. This is the only bad credit/delinquency I’ve ever had. I would appreciate any suggestions.

What happens to your credit report after filling bankruptcy?

Does all the bad credit listed on your report just get wiped out? Is there a bankruptcy listed on it?
I heard you can get credit very easily after filing bankruptcy as you cannot file bankruptcy for 7 years. Is that true? I heard its easy to rebuild your credit after.

How exactly does a credit card work?

I want to apply for a credit card that starts out with a minimum credit line of 0. If I get it, it will be my first credit card. If I get the 0 credit, I want to make a purchase for like 0. Is this a good thing or a bad thing to do? Can someone give me some good tips on handling a credit card without getting bad credit?
I will mostly be using this card trying to start an at-home business.
Ya mama b*tch. Eat my p*ssy, h*e!!!
Oh, rudecatt63, you’ve hurt my feelings ever so much, I’m going to cry….NOT. For someone who keeps visiting the GLBT section and has a rainbow in they’re background, you sure do do a lot of gay bashing. Self hate is so stupid. But then again if I were you, I would probably hate myself too.

What is the best credit card for a beginner but also for a student?

I never had a credit card in my life before. I was always scared that I might fall under the bad credit before I reach 25! But now, I really need a credit card, but I want to know which one is the best one to apply for? I am also a full time student, so I don’t know if there are companies that offer a credit with help for a student.
