I'm thinking about taking a job with a company that requires travel. They expect employees to have either cash or credit cards to pay for gas, room, board, etc. Then they'll reimburse you. My issue is I was laid off for several months and my credit is now bad. Any suggestions?
ANSWER
Expert Linda Burroughs's Answer:
You will want to reestablish your credit quickly.
Recommendations:
Apply for a prepaid visa card or secured card.
Get a short-term loan (from family/friend) in order to place money on the credit card.
Pay the money back to family/friend within 60 days once you receive a couple of reimbursements.
