The whole concept of buy now, pay later has helped propel consumerism through every ceiling since the advent of the credit card. Although lines of credit are not exactly new, the credit card gives the consumer a convenient way to open a revolving credit account to spend on whatever they please. However, the rise of credit cards also means the rise of credit card debt, which leads to a downward spiral of financial instability and emotional distress.
That does not mean every new credit card is detrimental though, and with careful planning and responsibility, a new credit card can actually be a blessing upon someone’s credit score and history.
When planning for the future, it’s best to be aware of how credit may affect fiscal opportunities. A young adult fresh out of university may not be thinking about grabbing a mortgage right away, but they will most likely think about getting a new car within the next few years. Having a good credit history now means having financial options in the future.
A new line of credit with a trusted creditor will enable such opportunities, and there are a few benefits you can get along the way. Even if a person does not plan on using the credit card, it will help with his or her overall credit history and score over time.
Every financial institution out there from American Express to Wells Fargo will offer some perks and benefits to new cardholders. This can range from extra points for rewards to special discounts on interest rates. Here are some things to consider when looking to open a new card:
One of the major reasons to open a new credit card, even if it’s not being used, is to help raise your overall credit score. When people sign up for any line of credit, either a credit card or loan, it gets reported to the three credit bureaus (Transunion, Experian, and Equifax). These accounts will stay on a person’s credit history and add or subtract to that person’s credit score.
What this means is that the card account will help raise a score the longer it stays on the report, the higher the limit, and how much debt is on the card; i.e., a high limit, old credit card with no debt will dramatically increase credit score. But that means people need to start opening credit cards earlier to benefit from that good score increase later.
Some credit card companies will even offer free credit history or monitoring services as well, so you can keep track of your credit score over time.
Be sure to shop around and find a credit card that lines up with your spending habits and benefits you the most. Even if you don’t use it a lot, the card will benefit you in the future.

Ok so I've been holding off writing this review for about 7 months. And as you can see by the 5 stars I left I'm beyond happy with the services this company provided me. I was skeptical at 1st even though they had stellar reviews (which is why I chose them) but there's always that thing in the back of my mind of "well they probably won't be able to help me though, I will be that exception they cant fix". Needless to say they absolutely crushed getting EVERY collection I had off my report!!! I had about 5 grand worth of stuff on there that they managed to make disappear like magic. My credit has shot up over 150 points! I cannot say enough good things about them. I even referred my coworker to them after and they sent me a $50 referral check back! If you're looking to clean up your credit, don't wait, call these superstars and get on your way to feeling confident about your credit again. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I'm so grateful. Thank you fix your credit!!!
I worked with Mia and Said for over a year, I believe. They were beneficial and responsive. Although we were not successful with all of my accounts, they still helped me raise my credit by about 100 points. So I stand satisfied. I recommend them. Not to mention there prices are very competitive. Thank you all.
I called this place about 3 months when I decided it was time to fix my credit. I spoke with Mia, she walked me thought the whole process in a 5 minute phone conversation. It was simple enough so I decided to pull the trigger and signed up. Its only been 3 months and already they have removed negative items and improved my score significantly. I strongly recommend to give them a call as soon as possible, I waited too long and I wish I would have called sooner. I will update in a few months with the final results.
These guys are legit and professional at what they do and very quick as well very responsive and knowledgeable and they will do everything they can on your behalf
ASK FOR MIA SHE IS THE BEST.
