I am 16 years old and wanted to know if I could receive a credit card as an authorized user under my parents name?

[TakeChargeAmerica]

Many lending institutions will issue a credit card to a minor as an authorized user on a parents account. If your bank wont do this, get a stored value card. That is even safer!

Good Luck!

That was one of the best presentations I have seen in a long time. Excellent graphics on the PowerPoint, if that is what was used. Thank you Mr. Sullivan for the great video/information.

You don't NEED ANY Credit Cards.

You don't NEED DEBT

You need to stop feeding the banks that are destroying America.

-Get a prepaid Visa, cash your paychecks at the grocery store, etc...

YOU CAN live without a bank, and you'll save more money when you do.

@ICUC007 Obama. It was one of his campaign promises.

These money masters are snakes. The masters prohibit adults 18-21 from obtaining a credit card, unless they are able to prove that they are legally responsible and capable for credit card? The people must prohibit these money masters from issuing our money, because they have proven themselves to be criminals, by enslaving us all.

We need SOUND MONEY Gold and Silver NOW. Stop the fiat money changers from enslaving you any further. Next, they will want to insert an RFID chip under your skin

I would very much like to know who is responsible for the new laws that are beneficial to the consumer. Was it some particular congressman who initiated it or what?

what judgment laws in PA

[jackchief]

I had $12,00 and $8,000 credit cards at 29% , the banks raised the rates from 8% because of "universal default" , this is despicable!. My attorney told me to send them a certified letter to not call me [by Federal Law they must stop]! This is a "Federal law". . Then he suggested that I don't pay for about 4 months at which time they'll get someone to negotiate. I didn't pay and I won't so I save $300 a month. my credit score is low.. but so what! Call a free state Attorney or any Attorney!

I think that not allowing 18 to 21 years old should NOT get card thats what happened to me. In college they gave us credit cards, NO real jobs,  we had NO real idea what it was.. but I had credit cards. LOL seriously Stupid idea. That gave a great jump in right directions.... NOT. good they should understand or take a class on credit cards first
