    She is so right when she said credit cards have like the fastest affect on your credit.
    My credit is horrible. I never focused on my credit because I was in survival mode for years. But anyways. I got approved for $200 on a credit card. I started with 493 credit score. 3 months in a row my score dropped 4 points each month. I didn’t know what I was doing wrong because I was making payments every month.
    Well I learned about the statement date. The last month I made my payment before the statement date and paid a little more than minimum payment. My credit school jumped up 93 points. So everything she’s saying is so important and so true.
    I was shocked to see my credit score jump that much! After that I got approved for my 2nd credit card and now my credit jumped up a few more points.
    Now I know I’m on the right track. I just need to add reoccurring payments to the cards ❤️

    I’m so glad that there are people out there like this. There have been way too many people online trying to teach people tricks to raise the credit score and not how to build a strong credit report. I’m not saying that having a good credit score isn’t important… It’s just not as important as a strong credit report. You can’t use cheap tricks to get that. This is what I try to teach a lot of young people

    If you can use a card 6 to 15 times, if not a burden for you, and not on wasteful purchases, while keeping to about 5% utilization, that should hit more favorable factors. Remember, a card issuer makes money from the vendor when you use the card as well.

    • @roysongarvey2261
      @roysongarvey2261 Год назад +1

      They charged you because the prior month you had already rolled over a balance that was subject to interest. New charges are subject to 23-25 day grace periods but if you miss the statement date and don’t pay off your entire older balance they have you trapped and you’ll be clawing out from them high interest charges. Get the balance at zero and don’t use the card for a cycle to get it reset. 🙌🏾

    Most bank do report utilization under 10% I have the credit reports to prove it. iBank and Bureau's wil report 1% even . So the Sista saying they don't report under 10% utilization is CAPP. THE Bureau will report individual card utilization as well as total card utilization. So utilization has alway been reported as the balance carried over on a statement date.

    I use credit cards to pay for most things. Because I have large credit lines, I use well under 3-5% and I pay my bill in full before the due date. My credit score is 800. She suggested to carry over at least 1-3% of your balance. I don’t understand this concept.

      I always say do both if you can. I’ve done both with great success in helping me surpass an 800 score. Increasing your limit gives you more cushion that helps your utilization look better (as long as your spending habits remain relatively the same). Most credit card companies don’t pull your credit for an increase request because they use your payment history with them.

    • @Sandiego2019
      @Sandiego2019 Год назад +3

      A zero balance doesn’t hurt your credit profile but it doesn’t help it either. If your credit card company reports a zero balance each month, it doesn’t show that you’ve used it. If you are trying to build credit, the key is to find out when your statement date is. That balance is what is reported to the credit bureaus. If you want to pay it in full after that, you can do it then. That way it shows the credit bureaus that you use your card and when it is at zero the next month, it shows that you are responsible in paying it back.

    Financial atmosphere is constantly evolving. The average person working 40hrs a week. Their credit score is not that important anymore. HYPER Inflation plus high interest rates along with most Americans having a high debt to income ratio will equate to people barely surviving and living pay check to paycheck with ridiculous debt. People must learn to earn multiple income streams or a professional skill or they don't have a chance at real Financial freedom. Now add all the vices most people have it gets worse. With no significant liquid capital buying appreciating assets debt free is impossible. Living week to week off of credit cards and paying ridiculous interest is a ticking time bomb for disaster. Problems will arise its life.
