A good start would be getting a secured credit card. I've heard many stories of how Orchard Bank has turned things around for so many. Check out their featured cards and see what would work better for you.

Well, if your credit is really bad you could try a secured credit card. Charge only a small amount each month and pay it in full and on time.

There are also rent-to-own furniture places that used to advertise on late night TV: "We don't turn anybody down". They make you pay through the nose, so don't get anything too expensive.

It's going to take a while no matter how you go about it. Good luck.

If you have some saved cash:

1. Get a secured credit card with a limit over $1,500
2. Get a fully secured personal loan.
