How long ago did you start building your credit history?
I started checking my reports late last year, I had no scores. I applied for some cards in January this year, no luck. I had to apply for a Parent plus loan(my daughter is attending ASU) in May of this year and was approved(shocked)! I applied for a Citicard at the end of September and was approved! My reports were fairly clean, there were someunpaid medical bills, that have since dropped off.
