Your credit profile needs three things to recover - lets talk about it
1- diversity, payment history, and age. Here's the breakdown:
a. Revolving accounts (credit cards) show lenders you can manage available credit
without maxing it out. Start with a secured card if you need to. Keep utilization under 30%. This builds your payment history while showing restraint.
b. Installment accounts (car loans, personal
loans, credit builder loans) prove you can
handle fixed payments over time. Lenders love
seeing this because it mimics mortgage behavior. You're not just managing credit—
you're managing debt responsibly.
c. Tradelines (authorized user accounts) give you instant age and history. You're piggybacking off someone else's established credit to boost your profile while your own accounts mature. This is the shortcut that actually works.
2- Why all three matter: One type of account alone won't cut it. Lenders want to see that you can juggle revolving credit, pay fixed debts on time, and maintain long-term financial relationships.
3- Bankruptcy wiped the slate. Now you're building the foundation that commands respect from lenders. It's not about speed. It's about structure. If you're rebuilding
and want to know exactly which accounts to open and in what order? That's literally what we do. Comment "REBUILD" and let's map it out.
