| What's a good CC to rebuild credit on?
I recently received my credit report after who knows how many tries, and all the information there doesn't indicate i have a bad credit history, at least not to me.
I applied for scotia bank low interest rate credit card but was denied. I really want to rebuild my credit, does anyone know any credit card i can apply for that will easily get me approved. Even if it's on a high interest rate, i just want to spend a little bit and pay it off on time.

You may have to try and see about getting a CC by putting forth some money as a deposit. Also, the more times you view or give someone permission to view your credit, your credit score goes down. Posted via RS Mobile | |

secured credit cards generally are not for individuals with bad credit, they are primary for individuals with no credit experience ie new immigrants.
If you believe you do not have bad credit the other possibility you have not been successful in applying is that you don't qualify on the basis of income.
Are you doing online applications? these simply go by the math
I suggest you go into the bank where you have a relationship (where your deposit accounts are) and have them do a full application where they can possibly mitigate your lack of income/ credit history with the relationship ( ie account always in good standing) but if you're doing online apps right now definitely stop

Good info posted by woooo, take the advice.
My first CC had a $500 limit and was difficult to get from a bank. RBC was easier than Scotia, despite Scotia's claim of #1 in customer service I find them very difficult to deal with.

Shortly after I got approved.
At the time I was making 20,000 annually back in 2006.

If you don't have a good credit the easiest way to get a credit card isn't with the banks.
You should try getting a President Choice or a Canadian Tire credit card. They pretty much approve anyone.

I had very good credit once and at the time I was using RBC chequing account. Got RBC platinum along with it for easier banking. Ran into some financial problem and they shut down both my credit and chequing account. Now I try to stay away from using the same bank for chequing and credit card accounts.
But I guess I have no choice, seems no where believes that I have steady income now besides my own bank.

SIN isn't required, as long as your Address is current, there shouldn't have been any problems pulling your bureaus.
It seems like to me, you have bad credit, and not "no credit". I would suggest if you have good income, providing that you money aside, I would hit up a Credit Union for a secured CC. Vancity or Coast, most of the time, they'll approve you as long as you have money set aside, and not some ridiculous ratios of like 4:1 (means got to put 4k aside for 1k card.) something usually 1:1 or at worst 2:1.
However, rebuilding your credit = you learn how to handle your money. If you haven't no amount of rebuilding will really be rebuilt.
