The One Big Payment Mistake

from The Credit Show

You pay your credit card in full every month, never carry a balance, and never pay interest. So why is your score stuck? Because the balance the credit bureaus see isn't the one you pay on the due date — it's the one reported on your statement closing date, which could be weeks earlier. Harry Jacobs explains the exact mechanic behind this commonly misunderstood timing issue, why a small business owner had a stubborn 735 score despite perfect payment habits, and the simple multi-payment method that pushed him to 789 in a single month — without changing his spending by a dollar. In credit, when you pay can be just as important as what you pay. If you would like a free consultation with Harry Jacobs at Credit Restoration of Nevada, text CREDIT or call 702-778-2000.
