I am 26 years old and I don’t have a credit score. I have unpaid medical bills on my report. They don’t add up to much so I should be able to pay them off fairly easy when I have extra money. How can I get credit so that I can have a score? Every credit card that I wanted to apply to (that would even give me one) has all kinds of fees and doesn’t seem worth it to me. I have student loans which I don’t have to start paying back until I graduate (2009). Will these loans help improve my credit when I start paying them back? If so, what can I do now to get a credit score? I want to buy a house in the next couple of years but I need to build my credit first. Any suggestions?
