Well, at the beginning of this school year I finally had to sign up for loans to get through school. Apparently the company paying them - Sallie Mae - has actually upped interest by 20% + for another student who used them (who I spoke with recently).
I don't know why, but anyway, it seems that reading customer complaints about Sallie Mae... alot of them get screwed.
So I'm going to just ask:
what can I do to keep my interest rates down and/or get changed over from Sallie Mae? (since I already signed up with them XD)
Oh, I was also told to get a credit card already (I had been putting it off as long as possible - the same as with loans), and to build up interest by whoring myself out to corporate credit giants - or something like that.
So then, what's the easiest and best way to build my credit? The former student I spoke with said to just let a few dollars slide (creating debt) and slowly pay it off, eventually paying it all off. Is that the best way to go?
Also, which credit card company(s) do you suggest?
