On the loan: make sure to get put on as a co-borrower, it will mean nothing to the bank since the loan has already been given, but it will mean everything to your credit report.

Also apply for things like a Dept store card (Sears, Circuit City, Dillards etc), those help up your credit score. Once you start getting legit cards, cancel the Dept stores cards.

I remember when I was in the millitary, I had trouble getting anything on credit, nowadays I could buy a car on a CC if I wanted to.

Be careful not to get in over your head, it's real easy to fall into the "I'll pay it later " trap and your "real" money gets put towards other things. Use it wisely and credit can be one of your biggest allies in this world. Good Luck!!

Your truck looks Awesome Gene
isn't it great how we can spend all our money on HP and Bling, even when we don't have any.

Don't sweat it Probleminfected, be glad you don't have a ton of credit, Belive me I know As time goes on, they make it easier and easier to hang yourself
