Ten Steps to a Better Credit Score: Step 7 Look at how long you’ve had credit established….
As you start paying down your debt and working on your credit scores make sure you DO NOT Close your revolving credit lines. Revolving credit lines closing and lack of revolving credit (with low balances) will lower your scores drastically and by an alarming rate.
It takes a disciplined person to have revolving credit without using up the credit allowed. By having revolving credit, a good payment history, keeping the useage amounts under 20% of credit limit it will help your score. Keeping the line open will also build the length of credit history and types of credit. All of this adds up to 90% of your credit score.
Now you can see why its essential to keep the good lines open with the balances low.
Credit Card useage rose after a 27 month decline in balances.
Consumers beware the increase in your balances will affect your credit score. Credit Useage accounts for 30% of your credit score. When balances increase so do your monthly payments. This may affect your debt to income ratio when you go to qualify for a home.
If you are in the process of purchasing a home, do not increase your credit card debt. You would be surprised how as little as a $5 charge can affect your score and make the difference between the better interest rate or even qualifying for your loan.

Settled a debt? You may have to count it as income
Have you recently settled on a credit card debt?
Did the creditor not mention the tax notice you’ll be receiving for the cancellation of debt? Did you know that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service considers forgiven or canceled debt as an additional source of income?
Debt collectors and creditors who agree to accept at least $600 less than the original balance are required by law to file a 1099-c form with the IRS. Tax payers have to report the “income” on their federal income tax returns. While consumers may say “but they never told me,” the collectors and creditors will say they are not lawyers or accountants and that is not their job to notify you of tax ramifications.
One good note is that a small percentage of the taxpayers who receive a 1099-c may qualify for one of several exclusions that will allow them to reduce the amount of taxable income from the settled debts. Homeowners who default on mortgage loans may also receive a 1099-c form. Make sure you consult an attorney and tax advisor/accountant before you go into a settlement or cancellation agreement. Make sure you open all your mail and if you don’t know what something is, call and ask. This is one piece of paper you do not want to throw away.

Credit card debt, left unchecked, can pile up quickly. Especially for debtors making minimum payments.
According to the Federal Reserve, a credit card balance of $5,000 at 23.99 percent APR won’t pay off for 16,127 years. That’s one reason why it’s important to manage your credit card rates, and renegotiate them whenever possible.
In this 4-minute piece from NBC’s The Today Show, you’ll learn the tested tactics that can cut a credit card rate, and get monthly payments to a more manageable range. And it’s do-it-yourself — no debt management firms required.
Some of the tips in the video include:
Compare your current rate to the rate offered to new customers. Ask the lender for “new customer rate” if it’s lower.
If your credit score has improved since application, ask for an interest rate more reflective of your current credit score.
Be nice to the customer service representative. Kindness helps.
Managing debt is an important part of household budgeting so if you’re finding your credit card payments and/or rates too high for your liking, try following the instructions as described in the video. And, above all else, be persistent. The credit card companies won’t likely approve your first request.
