Income of $8k and debt of $3k...how do I get more credit without steady employment?
Good question? Vote for this

I have 5 negative accounts totaling $3k and 1 positive (paid off) accound of $6.5k but cannot get credit to save my life. The paid off account seems to hold zero weight with anyone. The best place to get a car around here requires an income of $300 per week and I only make $150 per week; however, I have no bills and can afford their payment - they don't care. Help, I hate walking to work and don't want a broken klunker!?!?!

Save up your money, the more you can put down, the less your credit score affects your purchasing ability.
