One way to start developing a good credit history, if you have no credit or if you have bad credit is secured credit cards.

If you have a bank account start with that bank and apply for a secured credit card. The money you put down towards the secured credit card will be the amount you can use on the secured card.

Secured credit cards are also offered by lenders nationally who require a deposit, typically $300 $600, per application. Information about secured credit cards can be found on the internet. I would recommend taking a look at http://www.best-in-credit-cards-online.com/best-high-reward-cards.htm

This site has lots of information about all types of credit cards and credit card offers.
