I made stupid financial decisions post college. Fortunately I had no student loans. My credit was in shambles too. I boosted it 100 points in 6 months. I am over 700 now. Dont give up nigga.

Thanks
You get a limited term license with the same expiration date as the EAD.

You can find one around town, but that usually requires a hefty security deposit. It also depends on the side of town you choose to live in.

May I ask how did you open a credit card without a social security number? How did you ruin your credit if you didnt have a social security number to begin with?

Some CC companies issue them to folks with just an ITIN, not sure of this is the case for the OP, but I know folks that got them this way.

You can open credit accounts with an ITIN. In fact, you can probably get one without a number at certain banks if you bank with them.


OP: I might look into seeing if your ssn is attached to your bad credit account if you haven’t already done so. For landlords, no credit is better than bad credit.

Can you drive for uber/lyft with that limited license?
