Question by brittany b: Does Having Bad Credit Affect Your Eligibility To Join The Military?
I have bad credit, and was interested in joining the Air Force reserves. I am curious if this is going to affect my ability to obtain a security clearance or not. I am having such a hard time getting in touch with a recruiter, and am still waiting for my calls to be returned. I am curious if this is a waste of time for me or not. I am planning on fixing my credit, but have been financially unable to do so.

Yes, the military doesn’t want extra problems on their hands. That’s why the recruiter is not calling you back.

A working visa can be denied for a whole host of reasons. You should talk to your sponsoring employer’s immigration lawyers. BTW, you cannot get a work visa for the US withouit a sponsoring company.

Question by videogamer1979: Does a student loan and a bank loan affect your credit the same way?
I have one credit card ( revolving credit ) and I have one student loan ( fixed monthly payments ). I want to keep one revolving account and one fixed account. Would a bank loan that pays off the student loan look better as a fixed loan? I guess my question is: Do they both count as fixed loans or is the bank loan a more “authentic” fixed loan?

Answer by CreditAlignment.com
doesnt matter….they’re both ‘installment’ loans on your credit report. i wouldnt take a bank loan because MOST LIKELY the interest isnt tax deductible like the student loan.
i would advise to have 2-3 credits…2 installment loans….can be student loan, auto loan or other loan…and a MORTGAGE!
make sure you keep low balances are on revolving accounts…and you should be go to go.
