Ya, just call a credit card company. They'll give you credit as long as you're not currently in bankruptcy. You may have a high interest rate and/or a low limit, but it's credit.\n\nhttp://www.creditcards.com/

Open a checking account if you don't already have one. I was in the same problem myself because my parents always paid for my things. Also ask you parents if they will put your name on their credit card account, you can get your own card with your name on it but your bill will be on you parents bill. This will build up your credit and soon will be sent offers for credit card in the mail. I hope this helps you, it did me. Good Luck. XOXO

Vist www.nelnet.net. Inquire on the Federal Stafford Loan. That's what I did. I'm 18 with no credit and no cosigner. Mostly everyone is approved.

K, I don't know about paying some one.  Look for private owners (apartments that are small, like one building, or several buildings with multiple private owners)  private owners are less likely to check your credit history.

Your story is inconsistent with normal operation for tax collectors.  You should provide more detail as to who is doing all of this stuff.  It is not at all uncommon for tax examiners to question if a child being used to qualify for Earned Income Credit lives with the taxpayer and to require some proof of that if there seems to be a question.  If children are removed from the taxpayers home by a social service agency that has nothing to do with the "tax collector".

Odds are pretty good that no reputable institution is going to let a non-related party co-sign for you.  And anyone that doesn't know you well enough to know if you're good for it isn't going to do it for any price.\n\nYour best bet is to learn to live on cash.  You can also get a secured credit card that is a legitimate card without outrageous fees and interest rates at some banks and other institutions.\n\nThey work like this - you make a deposit of cash, and they give you a credit line equal to your deposit.  As you make regular payments, they start to increase your credit line, and after a while they also release your deposit/security.\n\nIt's the best honest way to start a credit history.\n\nAlso you can easily get a car loan IF you have a good sized down payment.\n\nAs others have suggested, credit is a very risk thing for someone who doesn't already have a good handle on cash management.  If you're struggling now (and I understand personallly how hard being a single parent can be), then getting a credit card is only likely to make your situation a lot worse.\n\nTrust me, learn to manage on cash for a few years first.  Then you can think about it.

I was in that situation for a long time. I always made more, and so claimed the child myself. Do not file jointly, unless it's going to benefit you. The child earned income credit laws have changed (so my tax guy told me yesterday.) If you're single, you can file as head of household, and get the child earned income credit...and you might also be able to claim your partner as a dependant. My husband was able to claim me as a dependant when he was still my boyfriend. Don't be afraid to ask whoever does your taxes questions, and when in doubt, call the IRS 1-800-829-1040. Good Luck! -Vickie

The one with the highest credit should apply by themselves. You can be added later.

Try to find companies or organizations online if you do not succeed try writing to local authorities or companies providing your details. As long as i am concerned these people need to have guarantor before helping you. I think your parents or relatives can act as guarantors

Unfortunately a lot of banks have very similar ways of deciding who they give credit to - that is overdraft, lines of credit, etc.\n\nYou may go into another bank, and find the same thing.\n\nBest to talk to branch manager and ask. Then have the same talk to another branch manager at a similar bank down the street. \n\nIf you are going to be charged fees and not have a line of credit, you might as well get it somewhere you you like the people you will be dealing with.\n\nGood luck!

It is possible, if you go to your bank, and see if you can get a small unsecured line of credit for about $5,000.  \n\nyou will need to have a good credit rating, and employment income, but depending, you may be ok without a co-signer. \n\nIf you have little credit, but you have paid (at least) the minimum by the due date, your rating will show you are responsible, and the bank will most likely authorize the line for you. \n\nGood luck.

Can't believe I am acutally answering. Dont ask all of the children on this. Go to the college where you want your work to be their credit. Probably to do with enrollment or an advisor. If you dont have the money to have actual employees, they probably dont have the time to mess with a mickeymouse.com company.

Unfortunately it is very difficult to get the Earned  Income Credit without earned income.     Even when you do have earned income and you have $2,700 in investment income, you cannot apply.  Publication 17 from the IRS states the Pensions, Social security, unemployment, and welfare all are NOT earned income and do not qualify you for the earned income credit.  Your case is not unique, and I know it would help you raise the child, but the intention of the law was to help low income working parents, single or married.  It was not intended for retired Granparents.  I would lobby your Conrgressman/woman for a change to the law, because this is the only way you will get it.

Benefits such as work benies? No. What does being a lone parent got to do with it? I mean the people you are working for are not responsible for you being a parent.\nIf you are talking state aid then ?

Contact your local child support agency.  If you have an order, they are the agency to enforce it.  \n\nThey have a number of resources at their disposal...wage garnishments, liens, bank account access, you name it!! It takes time to get the ball rolling, but it's well worth it.

First off yes you can only if she has not claimed him on her taxes because the child can only be claimed once on a tax form because they go by their social security number, Next if she has not claimed the child then you have to have supported the child 51% of his clothing, schooling, eats, housing and care in general. If this is the case then yes you should be able to claim the both of them only if she is not filing and claiming the child herself. Also the child tax credit is only 800.00 this year instead of 1,000.00 like in 2005. Well I hope that this info has helped you and if you need more info her is the web site to the internal revenue service.\nwww.irs.gov

If you have been out on your own for 2 yrs, have you been paying income taxes? If you have, then you are independent and your dad is guilty of tax fraud. IRS will have records of that. Apply for the student grants and loans as an independent student. Look up the department of children and families in your state. You will have to apply for medical, food stamps, and cash assistance; you can do this all on the same application. Medical is the easiest to get, but also the most difficult program to understand. Food stamps depends on how much your total income it (whether from work, loans, etc. - it doesn't matter). Cash assistance is difficult to get on unless you make very little and you probably won't qualify for it. Also, list EVERYTHING on your application, if you are not honest, they will deny your claim and prevent you from getting future help. You will have to have pay stubs, copies of your driver's license and SS card, etc. e-mail me if you have any other questions- ladydavonia@yahoo.com.\n\nGood luck
