Keep up with your credit card bills.

    if you have bad credit, is to make on-time and
    complete payments of your bills. Always remember
    that there are many benefits to keeping up with
    your monthly dues. First and foremost, you can
    avoid making extra payments on interest charges,
    late payment penalties and surcharges. Second,
    settling your bills completely and prudently can
    help push your credit score up until such time
    that you can fully regain your creditworthiness.

bills are due.

    payment should be made. What can you do to avoid
    skipping or defaulting on your guaranteed

    bank. After all, by enrolling in this program,
    you wont have to worry about your payments,

3. Abide by the terms and conditions of your
credit card.
  • Most cardholders incur fines and penalties

    credit card programs. To avoid such problem, you
    need to always comply with the rules set by your
    card issuer. One thing that can help you in this
    matter is to regularly review the provisions and
    limitations of your credit card. Such activity

    stick to the terms and conditions of your line of

4. Keep track of your transactions.
  • Take the time to examine your guaranteed approval
    store credit cards billing statement. Look at the
    transactions you have made for the past months
    and consider if youre spending within or beyond
    your budget. You should also try to catch errors
    or unauthorized charges. That way, you can
    immediately dispute them with your card issuer
    before they can inflict further damage to your
    credit history.

5. Cut down on unimportant expenses, especially
if you wish to completely pay off your credit

  • After all, by cutting down on products or
    services that you can live without, you will have
    more funds that you can set aside for paying your
    monthly dues, to avoid compromising your personal
    or household bills and expenses.

6. Dont manage multiple credit cards at the same
time.
  • Managing more than two bad credit-credit cards
    will only get you into a bigger financial

    debt traps which can in turn cause your score to
    drop even further. So as much as possible,
    content yourself with at most two card accounts.
    And dont take out another line of credit, unless
    it is absolutely necessary.
