Credit card, Cash and Checks.
Most of the major credit cards are accepted in
stores, checks such as "travelers
checks" are welcomed with an Identification proof , so
are the local American checks...and the cash is accepted everywhere,
of course!
Store credit, How to apply?
If you are looking forward to purchase something with a credit,
this is how it goes:
|
You will have to fill out an credit
application in the store, by giving your :name, address,phone
number, Social security N°, yearly average income,
name of employer.
|
|
Then they'll give you the answer
within 15 min by checking your "Credit
Report" record with your social security
n°, to any of the 3 majors company in the States,
if you have a "Good" credit report"
they'll give you the credit, with monthly interest
rates. But you can discuss the methods of payments
with the moneylender.If You have a bad credit the
company will send you a letter and you'll have 60
Days to answer regarding your credit statement.
|
The 3 majors companies regarding "Credit-report"
are:
Stores credit cards are available in most of the big department
stores: Burdines, JC Penney, Sears etc...
Again the stores will ask the above companies for your credit
situation.
In the States to prove you have good credit, you must have
borrowed money before and reimbursed it in times, that's how
you build good credit in the States.It's like when you are
a kid you have to prove we can trust you!
But to start gainig credit , you'll need most of the time
the backup of your employer, because most of the companies
or store you are asking for credit will make sure by calling
your employer that you 've been in the companie for at least
7 months and have monthly salary, and are a serious person...Sometimes
you'll have to be recommended by a higher moral entity!
