    I had a really high credit score (near 800). 3 weeks after opening up a new personal credit card (Sapphire Preferred) and putting lots of spend (total utilization being 18%) my credit score dropped a whopping 34 points!
    I wasn't sure if it was the inquiry when signing up, the average age of accounts going down, or the high utilization.
    I called my bank, and they said that inquiry makes up just 10% as well as average age of accounts. They also said that new cards (the inquiry as well as utilization of it) doesn't reflect on the score until 30 days later, after a full billing cycle.
    But my new card's utilization did show up on Credit Karma.
    The assistant told me, that even after they reporty monthly utilization to the bureaus, if I later pay down my card to a zero balance, it'll automatically trigger a new report to the bureaus, replacing the first report with the new updated report with lower utilization.
    After watching this video, I went ahead and paid the card off in full. I hope to see it reflect on my credit report by next week!

      With FICO score, they continue to be counted towards credit age for ten years if positive and seven years if negative.

    It probably helps to open as many credit lines as possible early on in your credit history with no annual fees, that way even though early on your credit score is not that high, later on your average account age will stay close to your oldest account age and opening new accounts wont hurt your score that much as long as you keep those early accounts open, and your score will climb higher and higher more freely.

    I hope you can answer my question. I now have 2 credit cards and am an authorized user on a Capital One credit card with no late payments for over a year after having some money problems for about 5 months.
    Capital One has told me I can apply for a card but one of the reasons they are denying me is that I do not own a house nor do I have a mortgage.
    I live in senior housing & rent.
    I had Capital One card in the past and rented and had no problem.
    Is this odd policy new ?
    I don't think its right to discriminate against renters particularly when 60% of Californians rent like I do.
    My score is slowly going up.
    2 years ago it was 480. Now at 541 and climbing.
    Also my girlfriend is going to add me as an authorized user and her 2 long standing cards with a perfect credit record and high limits.
    Will that help raise my score ?
    I will not be using the cards.

      @John Brandon THAT did not answer my question and Wells Fargo Bank last year PAID a $500 stop payment and that led to my not being able to pay my 3 credit cards and 2 of the negatives are accounts I refused to pay for because both cellular providers could not fix a problem with continual dropped calls or my phone going into data plan for months and I noted a dispute to both those bills on my report.
      I had very good credit before Wells Fargo screwed me.
      I was also a victim of their opening an account in your name fiasco.
      It took 18 months to get my money back from that despite their public lie that everyone had gotten their money back.

      i have not heard of this b4 but your score is pretty low still so they might be telling you that successfully having those types of loans would make you look more trustworthy. it is definitely not a requirement that everyone have an auto loan or mortgage b4 they can be approved for multiple credit cards.

      @@georgesenda1952 I know that I am 2 years late in replying to you, and I hope that you are moving closer toward your ideal picture of financial freedom. In reference to your question, Capital One does not require that you are a homeowner. In fact, that’s not even on their application. They simply ask: 1) Do you rent or own (or neither) your home? -and- 2) Monthly rent/mortgage payment? I have a Cap1 card and I don’t rent or own. I live with my 73 y/o mother, as she is my caregiver. (I’ve been very sick for the past 2 years and when I have treatment, I require a her assistance. I also lost most of my vision as a result of my illness. I don’t say this for sympathy, I only bring it up to show that if anything, my answer is the worst of the 3 possibilities. LOL. For the foreseeable future, I neither rent nor own.) My answer to each question was this: 1) Neither 2) $0.00. Even with that answer, I was still approved. When I applied for my Cap1 card, my credit was 680. It’s now 750. (It quickly spiked up because I had a 2 negative marks fall off my credit report…it took 7 years, but thank goodness it’s finally off forever.) I just wanted to share this with you because I know the uncertainty and frustration of being in a spot where you’re desperately trying to rebuild your credit but it feels like you’re stuck in a ravine that you can’t get out of. With Capital One, and I don’t mean for this to be taken as insensitive, but they have call centers outside of the USA. Wish they’d bring these jobs back to America, but that’ll sadly never happen. I’ve noticed that my questions can receive completely different answers depending on who I talk to. They may have meant that a mortgage or other types of loans can show a more well-rounded credit picture. While that’s valid, I have a feeling that they didn’t convey it in the correct way. I’d venture to bet that a majority of Capital One customers are not homeowners. Homeownership has been on the decline and is projected to continue to decline for the for foreseeable future.
      Here’s what I’d recommend, as it’s what I did: Take FULL ADVANTAGE of credit card companies’ pre-qualification & pre-approval tools. They’re a lifesaver and they don’t affect your credit - no negative dings. Capital One, Credit One (for rebuilding only - a secured card is probably better, although I still have this card), Discover, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase, Citi, Petal, Upgrade, American Express, Apple, and if you are a veteran, check out Navy Federal or USAA. Also, check out PenFed - they have great cards and you can do pre-qualification (it’s currently open to everyone right now, so you don’t have to be a government employee.) In the process of rebuilding my credit, When I started to rebuild my credit, I was first approved for a retail store card. Synchrony Bank offers tons of options, as does Comenity Bank. Most are quite easy to get approved for! Google “the shopping cart trick.” With a few steps, you can apply for a retail store credit card and avoid getting a hard credit pull on your credit report. You’ll be more likely to get approved because the credit card issuer won’t see your full credit history with your application. It may be something for you to consider. I’d urge you to read about it.
      Anyway, I don’t know if you’ll even see my reply to you considering that I’m 2 years late. Wishing you the very best on your credit voyage and the absolute best in life! Hang in there through these tough times of inflation…thanks a lot, Biden…not. 🙄

    • @ProudMoney

      Sounds like you are doing everything right. Do you have older chargeoffs where you never paid off the debt? Those will sit on your credit report for 7 years and even though they diminish in importance over time, you don't really see a bigger boost in your scores until they go away.

    • @bbanks8071
      @bbanks8071 Před 3 lety +3

      @Bianca Dorsey ..having a zero balance doesn't hurt your credit score but it doesn't help it either b/c it looks like you're not using credit. If you want your score to increase more rapidly, use your credit card and be sure to have them at 2-5% utilization before the statement date (which is the date that it reports to the credit bureau). After your statement date passes, pay them off before your due date so that you will not have to pay interest.

      MC 2 Are they your oldest cards? If you happen to close a card that you don’t like, but it’s one of your oldest accounts. It will damage the AAoA which tanks your credit score.

      MC 2 I would say don’t close cards if they are more than 6 months old I went through paid off all my cards and closed all I lost 87 points even though I paid all off. My Amex was closed due to my score dipping ... recently I had a card didn’t like it and I closed it after 5 months it only hurt 2 points
