So many myths surround credit and credit scores, no wonder so many are confused. For this reason I have started this blog for accurate information for everyone to understand their credit, scores and how to bring them up or keep them up. All questions and input welcomed. If you post it make sure its fact not fiction.

Increasing Your Credit Scores!
Do you have outstanding debt that you can afford to pay off right now? Try to get these accounts down to a zero balance, or at least a lower balance. If your cash on hand doesn’t allow you to do this, try to distribute the debt amongst other open credit cards. You can also consider opening a new line of credit and transferring part of the balance off a card that is close to being “maxed out”. If you can get the resulting balance below 50% but, preferably below 30% of the available credit, you’re on the road to improving your credit score considerably in most cases. You can also see will increase your available lines of credit. This can, in turn, reduce the overall debt ratio, but only do this if your credit card company can do that without a hard credit inquiry.
