secured credit card question

[TRFG]

The BOA rep told me because I don't have a SSN (I'm on a f1 visa) I won't have a credit score.

Is that so?

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Yes.

 

[TRFG]

Yes.

So how can a international student build credit? Can I call Social Security and get a Tax ID or SSN?

Get an ITIN for employment and find a place that can use that to get credit.

You aren't credit worthy. You could easily say fukk this debt and there is no recourse. Thus the secured option.

talk to your school they usually have an arrangement with banks/FIs for international students to get credit cards.

My parents don't want me to work while studying

Can I get a ITIN without having a job?
