Tommy u hit on the subject about student loans. Currently, I have 2 student loans. I'm thinking about paying up the least amount owed from my student loans. If I decide 2 go thru with this I would have paid out 2 installment loans⁉ Would this temporarily drop my credit score or raise it❓

One of the best opening, "I made a mistake." I like how you compared the two cards and explained how closing a card could potentially hurt someone's credit score.

Glad I found your channel, I will start having my children watch you as well to learn. You explain things very clearly. Thanks!

I agree no annual fee makes all the sense in the world. I am working on my credit and learning a lot from your channel. Thanks for your breakdown.

Thanks for the info Tommy, I subscribed a few months ago the first time I saw your videos. I've been working on my credit for a few months and try to put a little something on a card every couple of months. Pay the full balance even if payments before the statement date, and leave maybe $10 on one of the cards to send to the credit bureaus. I was in the 820 range 2 years ago, and dipped to 790 for about a year. I wasn't actively doing anything to manage my payments, and learned the significance of paying before statement close to send the low balance to the credit bureaus. I've moved back up to 807-825 FICO managing payments the past 3 months. Oldest card is about 7 years, student loan reporting around 12 years. The length of credit will help most people at that 7 year mark. I try to keep the utilization at 0-1% by the time it reports. Greatest tip I learned is to know the significance of the statement dates open/close (statement), and about 25 days later due date. I almost never rely on the due date any more. For years I was paying my cards a week or 2 early, and reporting the higher balance to the credit bureaus. Respect the statement date, and try to avoid relying on the due date. This video will help those affected by large limit cards being closed. My tip is to make a small purchase every once in a while on little used cards to avoid them being closed by the lender due to inactivity. It can affect the average history as well as total history in a big, negative way!

The US credit rating system is insane. Basically your system rewards you for staying in debt with little incentive foreign in your debts. Surely a realistic credit scoring system should reward people for reducing/eliminating debt and minimising the number of accounts and debts in full. Your credit score system is broken.

Great Job Breaking Down Utilization Ratio. Very Simple To Understand

I'm a little surprised that you let that happen but It happens. Your still pretty young and the fear hasn't hit you yet. You're doing some good moves overall. Way better than me from back in the days. I was lucky to buy one 40oz old english...

Use them to pay a cheap monthly bill (like an Amazon subscription, Hulu, etc.) under 10% utilization and they won't go inactive.

Thanks for the video. I really enjoy CK. Forgive me, but it sounds so complicated. Chase first sent me a letter stating their intent to close one of my cards (little use). They asked if I would agree and to call if I disagreed. I called. Praise God they allowed it to remain open. My score is 830. Bless God I pray over my finances. Stay Blessed 🙏

Thank you the vibes and videos!!

It actually boosted me 15 points on my FICO 8 do to not having ANY balances on my credit cards ( I pay my credit cards in full each month) and I guess the FICO score model doesn’t like it when they don’t see any CC activity. I pay off my $2 a week later once it posts on all 3 credit bureaus and I repeat the process 4 days before the closing date to keep the account active,keep FICO happy , stay away from interest & by the end of the day I get to use all that amazon gift balance towards birthday/Christmas gifts or school supplies for my daughter.

I get a $5 discount every month on one purchase. May sure you go to a store that accepts multiple payments on one purchase.

Good info- only thing I would say is that I would not let that Mattress Firm account close. That’s one of my highest limit cards ($10,000) I get that mattresses are expensive and not bought all the time but I would say just buy a pillow or pillow protector, mattress protector, something else that is less expensive and charge it to that card to keep it open- request a credit limit increase online. I went from $4000 credit limit, requested $15,000 online they gave me $10,000. I charged some new pillows to keep it open. I foolishly let one of my other synchrony accounts close that had a 15,000 limit. Won’t let that happen again!

I have 3 cards and I have one auto paying netflix, one auto paying my cell bill, the last auto paying sling that way I have monthly usage reporting on all of them and the amounts are small and manageable

Utilization rate explanation not quite accurate. You can use 75 percent in your example or even 100 percent but you don’t let the high utilization reports. You must reduce it to below 30 percent, preferably under 10 percent or ideally pay in full before closing date.Also store cards rarely get closed for lack of usage. A closed account still get reported for 10 years.

You have way too many credit accounts . You should focus on shrinking your accounts , increasing your max limits of your oldest accounts , paying off your debt , keeping A 0% Criedit line usage . Use your main credit cards for monthly expenses such as groceries ,clothing , gasoline , auto part maintainence & if you spend $700 in a month ‘ pay the $700.00 Only use your credit line for major purchases with 0%_4% interest like vehicle’s, cell phones , furniture , House , Computer & Etc . NEVER pay the minimum or less than the total balance at the end of the Billing cycle.
