Is a loan secured savings help improve my credit score? I appreciate everyone who uses their time to answer my question. Thank you all in advance. Now I have a bit of credit allowed, but it could be better. I have a few thousand dollars that I can use, and I thought "why not put it in a savings account, then get a savings secured loan? That way I could show my credit that I can make payments on time. "Does this sound like a good idea to either of you? If you'd like, please tell me how and why it works and what does not. And how does he you came on the answer you gave. Thank you.

It will if the Bank reports to credit reporting agencies. Before applying for the loan, it would be good to check with them if they do report. If they do you should get at least one loan of $ 500, but a good start is between $ 500 and $ 2,000. Also, do not pay immediately. You'll need to make about 12 payments before it starts really help.
Also a correction to the previous answer. To get your free credit report, you must go to http://www.annualcreditreport.com . It is the only site that is mandated by the government. All others will actually try to sign up for services and charge you money.
Yes Dustin This will improve your ranking on your credit file. It shows that you are responsible and reliable. simply use a small loan, but as $ 500. pay on time every month. You said that your credit is ok now. If you want to improve your reputation to take care to repay debts that you have as well. This will increase your score as well.
