      Store credit cards can hurt your credit score, but they can also help. It all depends on the situation, how you utilize the card(s), and manage your debt. On the one hand, opening a store credit card is a good way for young adults to start building a good credit history. Lending standards are often looser, as the stores are motivated to build brand loyalty and get shoppers to return to their stores.
      On the other hand, Opening too many store credit cards too quickly can hurt your credit score. Loan seeking activity tends to depress scores. Most algorithms look at both the number of hard inquiries and the number of newly opened accounts, and if there are too many in a short period, this will hurt your score. Hope that answers your question.

      Il s’agit d’un problème dont la plupart des gens n’aiment pas parler. Il faut donc tout le monde en parler pour le rendre normal. Merci pour le commentaire.
