What to Do if Your Credit Card Limits Are Lowered (& How to Avoid Closure)

Credit card companies are closing accounts and cutting limits - you can try to avoid this by using any credit cards that you've left inactive and if they DO decrease your limit, get on the phone with them immediately. Most of the time they will reverse or partially raise your limits again. What you want to understand is that the available credit is the 2nd most important when it comes to your credit score. This means that if the creditor lowers your limit from $2000 to $1000 and you have a balance of $500, your utilization goes from 25% to 50% immediately and your score will reflect this as well.

How to lower your risk: credit sweep to remove negative items and use inactive credit cards to avoid closure and then lastly, to protect yourself: pay down balances to decrease utilization.

3 Resons why you should wait to apply for new credit

Applying for new credit before all derogatory items are deleted: My advice to my clients is always the same: wait until you're done with your credit repair or credit sweep program, but have a strategy to move forward from there. Here's a few reasons why: #1 you may be denied if you still have 1-2 items remaning and will end up with new inquiries that will drop your score #2 it may hinder the process of removing the last few items and can add 1-3 months to the timeframe #3 you may be approved with a very low limit and would have to wait 3-5 months prior to requesting an increase.
