fania reikowsky asked:


I have recently paid off everything on my credit report. My credit score is slowly creeping up. I, like a lot of people, screwed up my credit when I was younger and am paying for it now. My Scores range from 579 – 618. Can someone give me some feedback please?

How is revolving credit reported to credit bureaus?

How often do credit card companies report your revolving credit balance, and how long does that stay on your credit report?

For instance, if you have a high revolving credit balance and pay it all off one month (and stop using your credit cards for a few months), how long will it take for your credit score to improve based on your lower revolving debt balance?

toddbenny333 asked:


I started a small business 6 months ago that has been very successful. I have a business bank account, but have not done anything else to establish credit for the business.

I would like to lease a vehicle in the name of my small business and am curious if my business credit score would be too low?

Does anyone know a general guideline on how quickly a line of credit is established for a small business?

My credit score right now is around 750, but I recently wasn’t able to make a payment on one of my credit cards. I’m just wondering how much will my credit score be affected?

Jahmyl E asked:


I have two credit cards. One is a CapitalOne card with a $750 credit limit. I was recently talked in to getting a new credit card with WellsFargo with a $1000 credit limit. I don’t feel safe having that amount anymore. I want to pay it all off and close it. I’ve had it for about a year. I’ve had the other one for about five years. Is that really bad for my credit score?

KAT188 asked:


How is bad credit and good credit determined, and given my situation, how do I make it better.
Please help because I’m thinking about giving a credit card a try since people owe hundreds and thousands of dollars on them, and somehow continue to be approved. Don’t get it.

Is my credit score weak because I only have 6 months of credit experience?

Sunday, March 13th, 2011
natashaiera asked:


I got a letter back and my credit score is only 665. I only have 6 months of credit history, but all of my credit cards do have a pretty high balance, although I pay them all on time and I just opened an account with AT&T last month. Is my credit going to stay this bad as long as I keep a high balance on my credit cards? Or is it just high because I do not have a lot of credit experience?
