Should You Ask For A Credit Limit Increase

from The Credit Show

A credit limit increase isn't just a way to spend more — used correctly, it's one of the most precise tools available for lowering your credit utilization and boosting your score without paying down a single dollar of debt. But ask at the wrong time, say the wrong thing, or trigger a hard inquiry you didn't need, and you've done more harm than good. Harry Jacobs walks through exactly when a limit increase makes sense, how to find out if your bank does a soft or hard pull before you request one, and what to say when you call that actually improves your odds of approval. Including a real client who gained 22 points in 30 days with no hard inquiry and no debt payoff. If you would like a free consultation with Harry Jacobs at Credit Restoration of Nevada, text CREDIT or call 702-778-2000.
