My credit card rating is 0 help!! – Uncategorized Credit Rating?
I enrolled in a credit card process in December 2007. I just checked my score and it says "0" and the reason is because its "Uncategorized Credit Card" What does this mean? I suspect it means that I cant be rated because its a new credit card but I dont know yet. I will need your help on this one
I am not sure and you're probably better off contacting the credit bureaus to find out. Either that or you don't have enough history yet. You can check http://www.learncreditnow.com/ for more info on credit and perhaps find something there that will help.

If your score is zero, that would mean that there is insufficient credit information available to give you a rating.
References :
the account is not yet rated since it is too new to know how you will pay. You see the past is the best indicator as to the future that a creditor will get their money on time. The account is just unrated. It will take 6 months or longer to get a rating.

Is this your only credit? A category is like "pays on time" "pays a little late" "delinquent" etc. You haven't done anything bad but you haven't used the card enough to be considered a good customer yet. (I just made up those terms to make a point. The real categories re letter-number codes).
