It's been a while since this Forum had any questions, but... I have an interview for parkchester in a day.

I have almost every single document, but I'm only worried about one thing. I have absolutely no credit. I've worked 7 years for the government, but I have no credit. I keep trying to get a credit card, but they always deny me cause I have no credit. I've tried everywhere. Bank, my union, best buy, everywhere, but only thing I was adised was a prepaid credit card. Anyway... Does anyone think I have a shot?

No credit... is the only problem I have.

Have you tried looking into a secured credit card? You put down, say, $300 to the card issuer, and they issue a card for the amount you have given them. Using it and paying it off will then begin to establish credit for you.

I know assuming you have a few hundred lying around is a stretch, but often secured cards are the only way to establish credit once all the major banks reject you for not having any...good luck

This is going forward, I know it won't help you by tomorrow, good luck on the interview.

Not even Macys? They give credit cards to anybody. They gave me a $2500 limit when I was in college.
