In this Our Rich Journey video, we discuss how you can quickly increase your credit score by focusing on your credit utilization rate. We discuss what credit utilization rate is and how you can decrease your utilization rate (which is good!) by understanding a simple “timing” process.

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
A credit utilization rate (sometimes referred to as a credit utilization ratio) makes up 30% of your credit score. In fact, it makes up 250 points of your credit score. Credit utilization rate is the second biggest factor in determining a credit score. However, it’s probably the most misunderstood factor. In fact, many people believe that paying your credit card on the due date (in full) is great for your credit score. This thinking, however, can be problematic. Specifically, paying your credit card on your due date can actually hurt your credit score because it significantly impacts your credit utilization rate that’s reported to the credit bureaus.

IN THIS VIDEO . . .
In this video, we discuss the timing of your credit card payments. By doing something as simple as slightly altering the timing of your credit card payments, you can quickly and drastically increase your credit score. In this video, we explain how to alter your payment schedule and how and why the alteration can quickly increase your credit score.
