Milo hanging.JPG

I have not yet had my cc even a month, I want to payoff debts to help my credit score, and now I have a great cc and an auto loan that is a positive affect on my credit. Will requesting a credit line increase help my credit or will that look bad???? They do not have to run a credit report to do this. Just curious!!

Possible Cause of Credit Limit Reductions or Account Closures



Something that is on every ones mind these days is their credit. With the lack of easy available credit and strong consumer desire to buy real estate at historic low levels some people have taken a keen interest in how these numbers are created and what impacts the score.  There is no good source of information since the credit bureaus are very secretive about how they formulate a credit score. With short sales, foreclosures and bankruptcies affecting consumers credit scores and these scores causing banks to increase interest rates, auto loan rates or outright denying credit based on those changes, I thought this information would be helpful.
