Age of Oldest Account and Average age of Accounts are part of the calculation. Your score might have gone up because you paid them off before you closed them, lowering your amount of debt.
Age of oldest account is :duck:.. or maybe that's why I'm stuck at 832.. 5 accounts... None over 10 years.. Closed whatever cards I didn't need.. My score never went down.

Can anyone give me a description of what is considered an ideal credit mix?

And what is a good income to debt ratio?

Is that just different wording for credit utilization, and if not, what is the difference?

It was a secured card. I had to pay 50.00 for a 200.00 limit. I didn’t have credit then. They raised the limit every so often, but after the first year I got offers for cards with 1500.00 limits and so on and so forth.
Secured cards are good way to built credit if you don’t have it. Good for young people.

question: since you kept the revolving card open for credit history purposes do you still get charged an annual fee?


Unrelated but MAN she been fine FOREVER

My friend says that his life goal is getting an 800 so I was just wondering :lupe:

Is getting an 800 credit score similar to the "renting a car at 25" milestone? :lupe:

What a shytty life goal. :gucci:
Just practice good habits and many people can get to a 800 score.

When I bought my house 2 years ago I had an 806, didn’t mean that much more than a 760 score. These lenders can still deny you on some fukk shyt anyway.

Seven years ago I got denied a car loan from Wells Fargo even though my credit score at the time was 750:russ:. Insufficient trade lines they said, I had three credit cards open at the time and a car loan paid off years ago, the fukk do I need more trade lines for you to give me another loan:mjtf:

There never was an annual fee, at least for capital one secured cards.

Nothing changed for me. Like others said, above a certain score it doesn't really matter.

Lenders prefer to see a debt-to-income (DTI) ratio smaller than 36%. Your DTI is the ratio of your monthly debt payments versus your monthly income.

Credit utilization is something different.This is the percentage of credit you utilize versus total credit limit. For instance, if you have a $1000 credit limit and use $150, your utilization is 15%. That's the basic idea.

If a card has an annual fee and you keep it open, you still pay the fee even if you don't use the card. Some lenders will waive annual fees when asked. Some lenders will allow you to change to a different card without an annual fee and still keep the same account history.
