You're welcome. As for your Wal-Mart Money Card, it won't help in rebuilding your credit. It's not a credit card; it's a prepaid debit card and as such there are no bills associated with it. You can only spend what you put on the card and after that it's empty and useless until you decide to refill it.
The key difference between that and a secured credit card is that the collateral you use to obtain the secured card won't be used to pay off the bill unless you fail to pay when your statement comes. You'll still get a bill each month and be responsible for paying that bill in full (or at least the minimum amount), and your payment history will be recorded and submitted to the major credit reporting firms. Since there's no bill with a prepaid debit card, there's no reporting and thus it can't help you rebuild your credit.

Thanks for that great answer. I do not have a credit card now, although I do have a Walmart money card. Is that enough for now or do I really need to have an actual credit card?

This is a wonderful opinion. The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone.I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it is about the individual but it can be with everyone.This is a true art work, which will be a success story. I am very pleased with the thought and don’t feel like adding anything in it. It is a perfect answer.
