How to raise my score

[cplunk1988]

How can I raise my score when I cannot get approved for any loan, credit cards and have no credit history or usage?

You might need to start with a co-signer or a secured credit card. Refer to the links below.

I would apply with Capital One, as they offer a secured credit card with a limit of 200, and after 5 months of usage and on time payments, it converts to a regular unsecured credit card. This will start your credit history and will allow you to open other types of trade lines.
