How does one get credit?
Yall know the story about me... I am going to be a bit vague here..

#1 100% Debt Free
#2 Low 6 figure savings
#3 Mid 6 Figure retirement (401k)
#4 No Credit Card debt
#5 DTI (Debt to income ratio =0)
#Paid 30 yr mortgage off in 5.5 years
#Bought car on 4 year financing in 2005 paid off in 2 years
#Bought Car with 4 year financing in 2002 also paid off in 2 years
# Have 1 bank credit card (Visa) Pay off in full every month
Income per year is High 5 figures to low 6 figures per year

No bankruptcies or late payments ever on any thing I ever bought since the early 90's.

I am not interested in buying anything or looking to buy anything but why is my credit score in the mid 600's and how do I get it to go up?

I am fully prepared for a bunch of stupid comments that I am just going to filter through to get to the legitimate ones so fire away... I know there are a bunch of people on this forum that make good money and are pretty smart except for their choice in a football team so give me some pointers.

Being Debt free is wonderful but if I ever choose to go buy someting like a stupid cell phone on a contract (which I haven't) I am going to be super pissed having that kind of coin and getting turned down...

Fire away

You need a few cards that carry a balance each month. They don't need to be high balance just keep the amount carried each month at 35 -40 percent of the card limit.

dude - your FICO score is your " I love debt" Score or "I care what banks think of me" score

If you truly live debt free you shouldn't care about your FICO score

Also
Cell phone companies don't use the Traditional FICO they have an Industry specific credit calculation - but if I was debt free i'd probably look into something like Ting.

We have been working the Dave Ramsey Baby steps for the past month and we should be debt free except the house by the end of the year.

I have cancelled all my credit cards and I vow never to borrow money again - meaning I could give a flick about my FICO score..

Good luck to you

Yeah, probably. Just call and ask them to raise the limit. I'm sure they will.

Where should I go? My local bank where I have my money at... I heard once you should never have loans where you bank is there any truth to this?

This.

Having a line of credit for 3-4 years looks better.

That's weird. You DO use it, right? And it IS a credit card, not a debit card, right?

Go take out some loans and pay them off within a year. My credit score is in the 800s.

I have zero CC debt, but i will take out loans for stuff like furniture from time to time even though i dont have to.

It sounds like that card is a debit/credit card that's tied to your account. Those won't report the credit bureau.
