To sign your credit cards or not?
Major credit card companies advise you to sign your card as many vendors will not accept an unsigned card. The companies also advise you to write (CID) after your name. This stands for check ID. So if your card is stolen the clerk will ask for ID and the thief will be caught.

How to Improve Credit Scores to Qualify for a Loan

Here are a few ways people with a negative credit history can raise their credit scores and ultimately obtain financing for a new mortgage loan:

•Improve payment history by making payments on time

•Do not open new lines of credit Use credit cards sparingly, and without overextending credit lines

•Make payments in full Have up to four different kinds of credit accounts

•Show evidence of steady employment for a period of one to two years

•Come up with a budget plan and stick to it

•Build up savings

Insider's tip: Credit experts advise not spending more than 25 percent of your available credit on any credit card account. If you have a $1,000 maximum in a given account, the balance should not be more than $250-$300. Better yet, wipe the slate clean and carry no balance whatsoever.
