You build credit by getting a loan on something, and paying it off over time, with interest tacked onto those payments. That way, creditors know they can make some money by loaning to you.

You're essentially buying good credit by paying the interest rates. It sucks, but what incentive does anyone have to loan to you if they don't profit?
