question about prepaid credit cards

my credit sux, like really bad, i got caught in the college trap back in the day and had quite a few that i maxed out and the like, anyways im looking to start rebuildin my credit and heard that some prepaid credit cards actually report to credit bureau's to help build credit, anyone know which ones will report to the bureaus, i feel most wont report and then it basically becomes a debit card. thanks.

i don't know about that 1 bro.. might be blowing smoke up your arse.. lol

One of the best ways to do it is to register for a CC with a very low credit line.. max it every month and PAY THE FULL AMOUNT every month.

Yes, all financial institutions report to the Credit Bureau every 30 or 60 or 90 days max. Hey, if u can prepay it's a definite advantage to you, and yes your credit points will build up.

secure credit cards bring back your credit.
the normal pre-paid visa card most think of will not.
you want a secure line of credit by a bank where
you put up $250 and have $250 credit line.
this will restore your credit
