How is it Possible to Change Bad Credit Rating through Bad Credit Credit Card? [mortgageinsuranceguide.blogspot.com]
Question by almcneilcan: How can I get a business credit card despite bad credit rating in Canada? Help! I'm trying to start up a business and all I need is a $ 10k business credit card. But I have a bad credit rating and so far lenders insist I must have a strong co-signer. But I can't get anyone to do this for me (long story) Any suggestions? In answer to the first responder, it's a self-employed business. I'm the only employee. It's a long story but my personal financial mess is a combination of the high tech collapse (I'm an engineer) that has gone on 6 years, 3.5 years unemployed for myself. Plus, I have a medical condition. I finally made a bold move to get around the medical condition so I can start my own business, now all that is stopping me is a co-signer. I agree, it's not an enviable position but I have no other choice. Is there any way to get a credit card without a co-signer when you have a bad credit rating? Best answer for How can I get a business credit card despite bad credit rating in Canada?:

Actually, it's a short story. No one else wants to stick their neck out (co-signing) to cover your debts after you have shown little ability to handle your own affairs. They will be 100% financially responsible if you default on your debts and they know it. Operating a business is like operating your own financial affairs on steriods. Who in their right mind would start a business on credit card with up to 32% anual interest? That is a very large nut to crack on top of paying for employees,your wages, materials, rent,phone and lights.... then look for making a profit too??? Tell me what kind of business you are going into that has a 32% profit after all expenses and I will start one in a heartbeat (as long as it is legal to do so) Maybe you had better sit down and work out a business financial plan... then work towards fulfilling it and obtaining the capital you need by working and saving the start-up funds... then someone might be willing to listen to your business idea. If you don't believe in yourself then others will not believe any differently. There is no shortcut to success. Those who cut corners are the first to fail. Response to additional details: The most probable way you will get a card is with that much money in their account. Your credit limit will match the amount of money in the savings account held by the credit card company. That way you can start building up a history of purchases and paying the bill on time. You have to re-establish a history of being reliable. After a couple of years of a spotless record, you may find someone who is willing to issue you limited credit and further build from that. I know you are looking for a fast way to do this.... sorry probably not going to happen. I am not trying to beat up on you... I am trying to show you how others (creditors and co-signers) will look at this. Even if you have lost your job,any work is better than none... even fliping burgers. 10 G's is not an undoable amount but it might take you 1 year to get there working minimum wage. Hopefull you will do the numbers and see that if you are holding 10Grand worth of debt on a credit card, your whole business profit will go to support the debt and you are working for nothing. If you were an engineer then you are used to solving problems with a systems approach and a thorough evaluation. It doesn't sound like you are using your formal education on this new problem. Please write up a plan and look at all the issues systematically. Form a feasable plan and go after your dreams. Hope that helps
There are many people who migrate to the United Kingdom for education and work. Such people will have no credit history. Likewise, there are a few people who may have a bad credit history and hence may require a bad credit credit card to repair their credit ratings.
Normally, there are three kinds of credit cards for bad credit. Let us find out how these cards work for you.
Prepaid Credit Cards
These credit cards are quite similar to a normal debit card. If you want such a card you need to open a bank account and initial a deposit. The amount you deposit will be your card limit. In this case the bank is not offering you any credit since any purchases made by you comes from your deposit.
However, this is not a credit card that can help you rebuild your credit ratings since there is not credit given to you and hence it is not reported by banks to the credit agencies.
Secured Bad Credit Credit Cards
With this kind of bad credit credit cards, you will have to open a savings account and deposit some money in it.
The bank may hold this money as collateral and issue a credit card to you. Normally, the amount of money you have deposited in your account may be the limit set by the bank though some banks allow for a higher credit limit.In case of default of payment, money is deducted from your savings account and the interest and charges are more than your regular credit cards.
Such cards are ideal for rebuilding your credit as these cards have to be reported by the banks.Unsecured Bad Credit Credit Cards
An unsecured bad credit credit card is just like any other regular cards except that the credit limit is low and based on well you manage your credit, the limit may be enhanced. Though these kind of bad credit credit cards charge more interest and charges than normal credit cards, they are a very good option to repair your credit ratings since these cards have to be reported to the credit agencies.
