Does an unsecured credit card build credit faster than a secured?

Friday, February 25th, 2011

I’m new to credit cards. I keep getting sent these crap mass mailings for unsecured ones and apply to them just to deny me. Really a waste of time and annoying. So I’m applying for a secured one with a 200$ security deposit. Two questions…First does a secured build credit any faster or slower than an unsecured card? And is $200 bound to be my credit line? For example, could I only put up to $200 in purchases monthly on it? I’m applying for the Orchard Bank one. Thanks!

Is cancelling a credit card after you pay it off bad for your credit?

Friday, February 25th, 2011

I’ve paid off a credit card and don’t plan on using it any longer. The credit company is sending me mailings about how they are decreasing my credit limit and crap because of “deliquency” and other things but I have not used the card in over 7 months and there is no activity on my account. They are pissing me off and I just want them out of my hair at this point.
