Building credit

Hey there BP!

I went in to the bank to see if I get pre approved, my score is 710, but they said I need at least one installment loan on my credit history, they recommended me buying a car. I don't want to buy a car because I have one right now, is there any other type on loan that would be something similar, or other way to get an installment loan without getting a car? Like secured loan? any advice is appreciated! thanks!

Is that the only bank you have tried at?  I would recommend trying multiple sources for the loan.  That way you know you're getting the best deal you can.
