David asked:


I want to learn about all the factors considered when a credit agency determines your credit score. I do not have any credit and would like to establish some credit. I do not have any bad credit either. I have already tried applying for a credit card, dell computer card, sams card, and have not been approved for anything.
I do not have any bills that are under my name. I was told by someone to go get a tv or something with no money down, but I do not need any of that. I also do not want to go get a loan and end up paying interest for no reason. I have seen several websites which give some info about this, but not enough. Can anyone give me any suggestions or recommend a book?
