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

So you want me to carry $800 debt each month on my $2000 credit card and $3500 on my $10,000 credit card?

Sounds like a great way to get ahead in life!

Sorry!! You were 100% correct, not false. I misread your post as if you were saying the opposite. We're in total agreement. My bad.

Nice. I was in a similar situation. No debt after I paid off a car loan real quick in 2003 but I used CCs all throughout so when I wanted to shop for a new car earlier this year I was golden.

If you can control your spending, CCs are incredible. They give you a free loan for x days, benefits (including cash/rewards/flight points), and great credit just for paying the bills you would have spent anyway.

Do you have any friends in the mortgage business? If so, ask them to pull a "tri-merge" credit report. That's the one they use, and it shows all 3 bureaus. They get charged about $15, so offer to pay. That way you can compare and see if one bureau may have bad info.

Also, most loan originators/officers know a good credit repair place. Not to be confused with a credit counseling companies, which are for people who are in over their heads, credit repair specialists can look at your credit report and immediately tell you why your score is what it is, and what you can do to improve it. I'd try that first, so that you don't take any unnecessary steps.

We have over $500 coming cash back this year in credit card rewards and we pay off our credit cards in full each month. We charge everything. We even charged 5k for re-doing our floors on the card because 1% of that is a free $50 down the line!

Sorry to shit on your 50 bucks but it probably cost the person taking your card 150 or more in fees.

Sounds like a personal problem brah. I would hope they'd be ok with paying that fee since I spent 5k with them. **** 'em if they don't!
