Please help me...

If you have paid the minimum monthly payments, having a credit card is an advantage. It shows a good credit history. If you are looking to borrow a lot(relative to your income) i would recommend reducing your limit. They look at your ability to pay the morgage even when your cards are maxed out.

In order to buy a house you can't have any credit card ? What! I have never heard that one before ! Where are you from ?

In our case, we needed a credit card to buy a house. You need established credit to buy a house. You can obtain that in many ways, loans, credit cards, bill paying, etc. All you need is established credit and for some time, almost always at least over one year.

when I bought my house I had 14 credit cards (mostly unused)but my credit score was excellent

you can have credit cards or any other kind of debt for that matter when buying a house as long as the payment history on those debts show timely payments and you arent behind on them, and as long as those payments combined with a mortgage payment would still work with your income.

I bought a house with a credit card. Its true!!!!

No, actually having some credit is good. Now bad credit makes it harder to buy a house, but not necessarily impossible. We just got our first home about a month ago. And our credit was not all that great.

If your credit cards are fully drawn and you have no assets to offset them, it's probably true. Come on, you have to demonstrate some ability to keep up the payments and still manage your life.

I hope someone out there can help you.

Not true, as long as your credit cards are in decent standing and you have decent credit, decent income and a decent down payment you shouldn't have a problem.

Credit cards are fine as long your credit history is great with your payments. Meaning that you pay on time, and no lates. Also make sure that you are not reaching the highest credit limit on your cards either. You will have too much high utilization of your credit. My suggestion is to attain your credit report from the three main credit reporting agencies to see all that you have. I am assuming that you are in the US. I am not sure what are the things look for in other countries.

I purhcased a house and have credit cards. The main thing they look at is your income to debt ratio. Of course they also make sure payment history is good on the credit cards. Good luck buying a house!

I do not think credit cards have nothing to do with buying of a house. Only thing is interest rates on credit card borrowing is high and hence you should not borrow on credit cards. Loan on house is given on mortgae of the house and repayment capacity of the person. All you need is salary certificate if employed or income tax certificate if self employed.

Not that I know of.. As long as you have a good payment history your Credit card shouldn't have any impact on you getting a loan for a house Good Luck !

Credit cards are usually fine providing you haven't had any expensive outstanding debt on them, same goes for any other system of 'borrowing'. It's possible even if you have a bad credit history, although it's more likely the monthly premium will be higher than if you hadn't had the debt.
