Can purchases and payments to a business card in my name be used to boost my personal credit score? Basically, I've been approved for a business card in my name with a $14K line of credit, but since I can fit all of my business expenses on my personal cards without using more than 50% of my personal line, I'm wondering whether it wouldn't be smarter to keep using my personal cards and paying them off on time to boost my personal credit. Does the usage and payment of business cards help boost my personal credit?

personal loans with low credit score? I am looking for an unsecured personal loan between $10,000 and $15,000--but I have past bankruptcy and a low credit score.

Unfortunately I am losing money without the money I need for an expansion, so I don't have time.
How can you build a new companys credit worthiness if your personal credit score is poor? I would like to establish a credit line for my cleaning service, but my personal credit score is poor due to filing bankruptcy last year. DUNS numbers are expensive to obtain and of course, the more they add to your credit file the more expensive it gets. I believe the cheapest rate I saw was nearly $400.00. Any way around using my personal score or paying for an expensive DUNS number?
Improving My Credit Score/Getting a Personal loan? I checked my Credit Score for the first time today. My score is 637. I currently have two Bank accounts(checking), and a Credit Card. I'm leaving to go out of the country on vacation in 4 weeks. I will be in Europe for a month, and I'm getting married next year. I have contemplated getting a small personal loan for the trip. I have saved up quite a bit, but would like to have a little cushion for emergencies etc. I have tried to apply for a retail credit card, and have not been approved(5 months ago). Perhaps getting a personal loan for my vacation will also help my credit score once it's paid off. Could you please give me some suggestions on how to improve my credit score, and how to go about getting a personal loan. As I would like for it to have more of a history before I get married, and make our first big purchase together. All suggestions/advice are appreciated. Just for further information. I am just starting out with my credit. So I believe that I do not have "bad" credit, I just don't have much of a history. Also, I do not trust the e-mail addresses provided in some of the responses...What is the correct way to go about getting a loan. Should I use my bank(Regions), or credit card issuer(Capital One)? Also, are there any other Secured Lenders that I can contact, via face to face?

Personal loan - income vs credit score? My husband's credit score is 660, and he makes $1400 a month. My credit score is 590, and I make $1000 a month.

I know my income would help us qualify, but I'm afraid my credit score will mess us up. Any suggestions on which is the best way to apply?
Are business credit cards in your name totally separate than your personal in terms of your credit score.? In other words, if I pay off all my personal credit card debt with my business credit cards, will I have like a super high personal credit score like in the 800's? And if it is separate, then shouldn't I have a separate score for my business credit, or will they just look at my personal score to decide what interest rate to give me? A business credit card representative had told me one time that my business credit card has nothing to do with my personal credit score. Is that really true? Thanks for all your answers. First of all, thanks for your answers, but to Jon B, my business is indeed a corporation. The credit cards are under my name though. My credit score as of right now is already pretty good. (720-730) I have a credit history of about 10 years now with excellent payment history, so with that information, do you think that if I transfer all my balances to my business cards, it will boost my personal credit score to at least 760?
Raising my credit score with a personal loan? I got a personal loan to pay off items on my credit report. I could have paid them off without getting the loan but thought this would be the best way to re-establish my credit and raise my score at the same time. The Loan is for 12months but I plan on paying it off in 3 months. Would this look good to the credit agencys or should I pay it off in 6 months? I really dont need a year but my bank said this would be a great way of starting over and rebuilding my credit history.

Does your own personal credit score affect getting loans/finance for a newly opened ltd company? I am 19 years old about to become 20 this November and have incorporated a new LTD company but however I have just checked my credit score Experian: 241 Call Credit: 730 Equifax: 574 And I am worried about my Experian credit score as it is very low. I didn’t really understand the world of Banking and money before and made stupid mistakes such as miss payments and so on. But nothing major such as defaults or ccjs. The main problem is I had been late with payments by a month and applied for too many loans which have been declined. I need to get some finances together to launch my new business and wanted to know what approaches I can take realistically to get these funds (about £5/6K). Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! How much money am i putting in? I have already invested in most of the equipment needed for the company £4,550 in total so far. Hence why i require £5/6K to complete the start up for the business. Initially the company will go into Computer Consulting and Instant Repairs for end users/contracts with 3rd parties. However in the business plan I have a 2 – 3 year expansion and launch of other servers/products which will be offered by the company.

Can paying off a personal loan early adversely affect your credit score? KNOWLEDGABLE PEOPLE ONLY! We have a small personal loan through the bank and it has been paid on time since Feb. But we contacted one mortgage company who said that it looked bad, then another said it was fine. But we really want to pay it off so it is one less bill. They don't take a fee or any interest to pay it off early. But we need to know if it will cause our credit to go down.
Why can the credit scores given when purchasing a vehicle be much lower than your own personal credit scores? We have rebuilt our credit.. my middle score is a 698, my husbands is 713. We are looking for a new vehicle and were stunned to find a 10.99% interest rate from Chrysler Financing. The gentleman showed us that our "automotive credit" ratings were in the low 600s. We are a month ahead on both vehicles and we paid off the car he had after about three years into the loan. We are just shy of prime credit. Is there anything we can do to get a better rate? -I know the average rate for a new car is about 7-8% currently.

38 & Looking to Repair Credit Score (Personal and L.L.C.)? I had some very old debt that has caused me to have a very low FICO (568). SInce then have started my own business and want to get credit score all cleaned up. 2 Questions: Have checks in hand to pay the less than $2K in bad credit reports.

How can I get a company credit card so that my business can begin to build credit? Secure card in the company name? Cheers,
Will using a personal loan to consolidate cc debt negatively impact my credit score? I find myself in a bit of a pickle. My credit cards have high balances. Both cards combined total $23,000 (17,000 on one at 19% interest and $6,000 on another at 18% interest). While I try to pay more than the minimum due each month, I find myself unable to pay them down.....life has been getting in the way. I've contacted the cards and they refuse to lower my interest rate. I have thought to apply for a personal loan to consolidate this debt (hoping for a much lower interest rate than the cards offer) but I'm not sure if this is the best solution. I would like to be free of this debt within 3 years. However, I'm nervous to do anything that might negatively impact my credit score. My score is already lower than it should be b/c of the high credit card debt. I have established credit and have a history of paying bills on time but my score fluctuates b/w 550-565 b/c the cards have reached their limits. I need to revise my last statement b/c I saw an error. I am looking for a way to quickly eliminate credit card debt. I have two cards that are maxed out (totaling $23,000). This high debt is keeping my credit score at 650-665. My score should be higher b/c I have a history of paying my bills on time. I would like to eliminate my debt within 3 years so I can move forward and one day purchase a home. The cards will not lower my interest rates which are at 18-19%. I try to pay more than the minimum as often as possible but I feel like I am getting nowhere. Also, it's impossible to put any money into a savings account and paying extra on the cards. Will a personal loan help with my problem or is it a bad idea? I'm reorganizing my finances so that I can be debt free and ready to purchase a home within 3 years.
Difference between personal and small business credit? Do credit bureaus differentiate between personal and small business credit scores? If so, does building up a small business credit score encompass the same practices as building personal credit? If one has a personal card with a particular creditor, then open a small business, would that creditor use any of their payment history/credit lines as some sort of a guide to extend small business credit? TIA.
Personal Loan with Credit Score between 600-640? My credit scores vary between 600 and 640. I'm wanting to consolidate some of my bills and thinking about a personal loan. I had a bankruptcy approximatly 5 years ago and been on my job for 7 years. I have no collateral to put down. Is this a possibility or just wishful thinking? Anyone have any suggestions on where I should apply. I don't want alot of inquires added to my credit report, so I really only want to apply once or twice.

Improving My Credit Score/Getting a Personal loan? I checked my Credit Score for the first time today. My score is 637. I currently have two Bank accounts(checking), and a Credit Card. I'm leaving to go out of the country on vacation in 4 weeks. I will be in Europe for a month, and I'm getting married next year. I have contemplated getting a small personal loan for the trip. I have saved up quite a bit, but would like to have a little cushion for emergencies etc. I have tried to apply for a retail credit card, and have not been approved(5 months ago). Perhaps getting a personal loan for my vacation will also help my credit score once it's paid off. Could you please give me some suggestions on how to improve my credit score, and how to go about getting a personal loan. As I would like for it to have more of a history before I get married, and make our first big purchase together. All suggestions/advice are appreciated. My Credit Card started out with a $500 limit, which was just raised to $750. I have always paid it off completely each month with a $200 balance each time. I have also never been late for a payment. I usually never have more than a $200 balance on any given statement. I'm not trying to improve my credit before I leave the country, just before next June.
Will my business credit cards activity affect my personal credit history and FICO score? I am a self employed photographer and own my own photography business. I have several personal credit cards and several business credit cards I use for business expenses. As I am preparing to buy a home I recently requested my credit reports and FICO scores from all three credit bureaus. I did not see my business credit cards showing up on any of the 3 credit reports. Why is this as I thought my "business" cards were just regular credit cards with the name of my business on them? Since I do have substantial balances on these cards from my business expenses will this effect my FICO score even though these business cards do not show up on my credit reports?
Question about my credit score and taking out a personal loan......? My credit score is 629. I would like to take out a personal loan for about 2-3,000 dollars. I was thinking about going through Citi financial. Would I have any problems getting a person loan for that amount? Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks! Just to answer Rick B, I am a great saver and have lots of money in the bank. But i am getting married and could use a extra 2-3,000 that I would have time to save. I have never taken out a loan, because i do pay for everything in cash by saving, this is just an instance in my life were i need a little extra help! Thanks
Does anyone have a general idea of a credit score needed to obtain a personal loan? My credit score is a 629. Would that "fair" score be high enough to obtain a personal loan for at lease 2,000.00? The only loan i have ever taken out at this point is a student loan. Thanks! I do pay all of my bills on time and have proof of that. (I save all of my statements.) I also have been at my job for a little under two years have paid off any "dings" on my credit report and only have 3 revolving accounts (student loan and two credit cards)
Can American Express Business card affect my personal credit? I have been in business for about 14 months and am about to go out of business with around $37,000 worth of credit card debt owed to American Express. They are saying that I applied with my social security number, however the cards have never appeared on my personal credit and they gave me like $57,000 worth of cards. At the time, my personal credit score was like 620, no house, no car, but my business credit was very good with a few BIG accounts open and paid on time. I NEVER signed any personal guarontee or anything like that, so I just cant understand how they can affect my personal credit like they say. Please give me any educated advice you can on this. Oh, and I am an LLC in Florida. One more thing.... American Express says that by activating the cards I agreed to their customer agreement, which makes me personally liable. What kind of bs is that? Does that actually hold up in court seeing as they never even provided me or read to me the "customer agreement"?
