Check with your local bank to see if they provide a secured credit card option. This service allows you to use your own cash as a line of credit. You make purchases with your secured credit card and make payments as you would with any other type of card, including interest. The bank will report your payment history to the credit bureau and after a year of successful payments they will return your cash and transition your card into a regular credit card.
