I have an excellent credit score @ 774, but only Experian is reporting a score for me. How do I get Equifax and Trans Union to report also?

How do you lower your credit limit without lowering your overall credit score?

credit score
Tim asked:


I have only have one revolving credit card, and I have a very high credit score. Because of this overall score they subsequently increase my credit line, even though I don’t ask for or use this revolving line of credit. Question? I have been told if you ask for a credit line decrease they lower your overall credit score? Why? What can you do to minimize a lowered credit score?

AMEFIKA asked:


When I apply for loans and tell the creditors what my credit score is they still run my credit. All the reports I read talk about the imporatnce of knowing your credit score and that’s fine. But what’s the importance of knowing my score when the creditors run it anyway? Also, how do we know that the rates that we qualify for are true based on ourcredit score? Is there a chart tat we can put our credit score up against and it tells us what rates we qualify for?

What is the lowest credit score do you have to have to lease a car?

credit score
nurseisfabulous asked:


I’m in the market to buy another car. Currently driving a 2001 Lexus RX300 and the new has worn off. Was wondering if it was possible to lease a car with a less than perfect FICO score of 652. The only reason why I was considering is because I want to buy at least a 2003-4 BMW X5 but I prefer a brand new one but I don’t have the cash or dare need a car payment that high for a 45k vehicle! I’ve heard leases are generally only approved for people with great credit but I have heard of people with less than perfect credit leasing cars but I was wondering approx. with what score?

My credit card balance is over 50%. How long will it take my credit score to go back up?

credit score
Casey asked:


Hi. I recently just got my first credit card ever and used it to make a $1600 purchase. The credit limit is $3000, so obviously I’m over 50% of the balance, and I just learned that’s bad for credit scores. I expect to be able to pay off the purchase in the next two or three months. Will my credit score go back up immediately after I get the balance on my card down, or will it take a while? Thanks.
