It’s weird to me. I recently applied for a bunch of rentals and my lack of credit has been the main thing holding me back. I have resolved to get a secured credit card but like how tf do people usually build credit anyway? I got denied by several other credit cards.
I also tried to apply for a loan earlier last year for a tow behind camper and even with 10k down on a 16k camper they said no. It’s like they can’t comprehend what I mean when I said I don’t have a credit score…it’s not a bad credit score….it’s that I have literally zero history. I’ve paid for everything in full including my car and the travel trailer that I ended up buying and yet I’m punished for it.
Anyways, how do most people get their name in the system? Is it always with a secured credit card?

Sometimes phone or other utility bills will be reported, so if you have them in your name and pay on time it can help
