Using one card to pay off another is possible but paying your debt on time and consistently is the best way to clean up bad credit. It takes time. If you have no debt your record will not be updated.
Sadly good credit is based on being in debt and paying your bills on time. People with no debt at all are considered a credit risk.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
