    were most u guys built urs up were u can go back on banks and that i know

    about but no credit history i dont
  • What should I do now to continue building my credit? Sit tight with the HSBC card and pay the whole balance off every month? Apply for another card? Not apply for anything for a year? I've no idea what to do. My plan is to use the card but to pay the balance off every month. Will that work in my favour?

    Oh just down the road from me, well about 20 mile or so.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
