The older your credit lines are also plays into your score.

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.

It would be stupid to purposefully carry a balance for the purpose of paying interest. |

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!

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 |
