That's bullshit. You don't need to use credit more. They tell you that to make money off you. I have amazing credit and I own no credit cards and have no loans. I could buy a house tomorrow and no one would be upset I've never actively used my credit very much and the bank has always sent me crap telling me I need to get a credit card and start "building" credit but its simply untrue. You don't have to build credit if you already have it.
Their point is that I only have one thing showing my credit, my student loan, and all lenders around here require 3 different loans or cards or whatever to okay the loan.Quote:

Again that sounds like bullshit. If you have good credit, you have good credit. Its not something that they can dispute really. I would find a different set of people to do business with, I would also suggest avoiding purchases that you can't pay for in cash.Quote:

Then again if he doesn't have "any" credit it can be seen just the same as bad credit or worse. I don't think you're getting that.Quote:

@Boo: Establish Credit - How to Establish Credit
What I use to do was keep a credit card with a low APR and low credit limit. I'd use to buy candy, gas, what ever I knew I could pay off easy. From there I'd just pay it off around when it was due.
House is the only thing you don't have to pay cash for in my opinion. Also you never mentioned you were buying a house.Quote:

I suggest to simply go talk to people at where ever you want to do business, believe it or not you can ask for an exception and/or a second opinion. Aside from that a down payment is going to be the best way to get a lender on board. Actually in some cases if you do a down payment they don't even check your credit.
