Question
Thin file, ? secured credit card
I have a thin file, I spoke to a V.A. financial consultant a few days ago. she told me of a jewelers to get credit from that reports to all 3 creditors, And that I need to try to get a secured credit card with my bank. she also told me that I should use the card to pay my monthly bills and then pay all of the balance when due, except for $10 she said that it will show a history faster and bring my score up faster, the V.A. consultant said in 5 to 6 months. IS THIS TRUE. I have been lied to by the V.A before.But V.A. consultant was honest I did get $2,500 credit line from the jewelers I just need to know if the rest is correct
