You can reverse late payments by sending letters and fight for it. Some people go to credit repair and get it fix. I’ve seen people late payment reversed. Even bad credit can be reversed.

I had a 89% credit utilisation on my 2 months previous statement I bought an apple MacBook my score dropped 35 points- I paid back in full. 2 months after I’m up 105 points.

[@avburns]

I'm one of those guys who pay all my cards before the statement date (so I have 0% utilization on ALL of my cards). Chase closed my card (they gave me a select offer; then cancelled my card for applying for a new card) and because of my zero utilization my score wasn't affected at all. I know a lot of people don't like this strategy because you don't get the maximum credit points having zero utilization on ALL of your cards and you give up your grace period but when you do this strategy utilization becomes a non-issue (and as a former Dave Ramsey fan I feel comfortable saying I'm still debt-free when there are NO balances on my cards).

I just started building after many years of avoiding debt altogether. I was at 699, then a self loan got reported and I dropped 73 points. I’m assuming it is temporary.

[@TNkR2010]

My score dropped 63 points. I have two credit cards opened , no late payments, no types of loans/ mortgages.... I believe My mistake was to call for a mortgage estimate at quick loans.... on feb 13th ... a week ago I received an email stating the 63 point drop... and I figured that quick loan call was a hard pull ... but does anyone know is 63 points normal ? I didn’t sign anything nor fill out any application. I also asked the lady over the phone if it would impact my credit if she pulled it and she said only a couple of points “nothing to worry about “

What about when you normally maintain a zero balance and when you do use your credit card for a small purchase of $261.00 on a credit card with an $11,000.00 limit and pay that balance a week later? My score dropped 18 points just for using my credit card. So even though I used it for $261.00 and paid it off a week later. The balance increase was reported, but not the payment a week later. This all occurred in the same billing cycle. So if I don't use the card, my score goes down and if I use it my score goes down. Can you explain why this is happening? I've been asking the credit reporting agencies the same questions, but of course, no one will give me a straight answer. I have a household income of well over $200k and can easily afford to just pay cash for everything. But for the sake of building credit, I use the credit cards. The credit card companies seem to be reporting usage, but they''re not reporting any payments made shortly thereafter within the same billing cycles. It seems to me that either the credit reporting agencies have a seriously messed up algorithms or someone there just doesn't like me. Please offer some advise here.

Sometimes depending on the situation paying off a collection that is not a good idea because you can pay off the debt but the collection of stilly a credit report so advising people to pay off a collection but they don't remove it from your credit report is not good information unless you establish a pay for delete or you dispute it would inaccuracy would be the better choice

Thank you so much for your advice. I just paid off all my credit cards but one but I also just paid off a personnel loan. As you have explained, logically it makes sense to want to pay off our bills and be debt-free but unfortunately, that's not kool.

Actually you’re wrong about the collections . You’re better off not paying and waiting the 6 years for it to be removed because if you pay the collection agency you are brining the account back to active

[@supremeobliterator]

A note on number 7. I have five new car payments left, which will save me $383.13 per month, plus I will have paid off my Citi Diamond preferred card, it starts charging interest this August but I should have it paid by then and save $100.00 per month. This will mean a lot more financial independence but I will take a credit hit. You would think the opposite would happen, if someone were to pay off the loans they would have more money so they would be less of a credit risk but no, banks think the opposite of what we do sometimes. By the way in no way do I intend to close my Citi account, the Diamond preferred is still a decent card.

[@missbehelpful]

Paying collectors does not help your credit score from what I've reserched. If you do pay them it still remains on your report as a derogatory for 7 years. Never pay collectors!!

[@josephrrivera9686]

I'm waiting for an answer to my previous question. When you use your credit card for a small purchase and you score drops 18 points for no apparent reason other than your using the card. Additionally, the small purchase made was paid off a week later. The purchase was reported but not the payment. Can you explain this? Remember this is all occurring within the same billing cycle.

[@missbehelpful]

It's unusual but sometimes the data being sent is super delayed to get there so you will have to wait a few weeks to see the score go back up! Annoying, but not permanent!

I'm doing the same thing with be same bank. They say that 6 months is enough time for your score to calculate.

[@natalie8354]

So your score goes up when you take out (and successfully manage) a loan, but your score drops when you pay it back? How can that benefit you long term? You have to keep taking out loans? Loans charge crazy interest and I hear that some charge you the full interest even if you pay it back early. Please elaborate.

[@natalie8354]

Just subscribed, btw. This was super helpful.

[@missbehelpful]

Great point. As long as you have ONE loan or credit card on your record then that is all you need. When you want to get a house they will care about your credit score, so you just want to have a score there that is good. No need to keep taking loans out.

Hey girl, I have a question about utilization... My score went down because my balance went from $5 to $31. Literally a $26 difference... Mind you I’m using less than 5% of my credit limit...

This is my first credit card ever and it’s a student credit card (I’m 19 in college) so this is all new to me

[@briannacollie2742]

I have a question about my credit card score cuz it drop from 12points and i really dont understand why.. i called the transunion about that but they telling me that may both credit cards is stop using since september-october this year which is not true and we always pay on time, sometime ahead of time before the due date. So i called both my credit cards company and they told me that they always report every transaction we do every month. So when i try to call back again to the transunion it comes out that the reason why my points drop because how long i used my credit cards since i apply in until now. So my question is that it is really possible that they gonna drop my score because of the shorter period of having my credit card? Are they gonna do that again to me? Even though i pay on time?

So i have 4 credit cards but i mostly use 2. Would it be bad not to use the other 2 so much?? Would it affect my score?

[@nicholasbennett5396]

As long as the utilization is below 30% or even better if your 10% or below is excellent. Only using 2 of the 4 cards is fine if they benefit you however if the other cards aren’t used for maybe 1-2 years then it’s possible that the accounts could be closed due to inactivity. I believe if you use those cards maybe once every 6 months then the account will remain open. Just make a small purchase and pay off instantly. If they do close due to inactivity your total credit limit will drop and that will make your credit utilization appear higher. This can vary depending on the credit limits of the cards That’s one negative. The second negative is that the average years of credit will disappear if closed. This drop varies could be big or small depending how long you’ve had those cards. Hope this helped.

I think this system is a joke designed to keep you in debt. Especially when trying to build a business or go back to school. They know most people have to use loans or credit to reach their goals and more than likely can't pay it right back. I used to Hate credit cards and stayed far away from them but without them I had no credit history. So I feel into the trap and world hard to build credit them get punished for doing the right things. Credit is a Joke joke joke because wealthy people care less about a credit score is all about how loud your money talks.

Yup if you have a lot of wealth then you will prob pay for stuff with cash and credit doesn't matter.

Does credit limit increase request reduce my credit score

[@nicholasbennett5396]

It could slightly due to some creditors may give you a hard pull when you request an increase. The positive though is that because you have a higher limit, you’ll have a lower credit utilization which can improve your score. This however is if you keep your spending the same and don’t purchase more due to having a higher limit. Below 30% is good however being 10% or lower will keep you in good standing.
