Credit Cards-Best Credit Cards

Zoxx asked:


Right now I have 10 Credit accounts open. Ranges from $424.00 to $5200.00 with a credit score of 728.

I have $0 balance all of my cards at this time.

I just applied to get a motorcycle and they denied me saying that I have too much revolved credit open.

I rent a apt due to the high housing prices. I have yet been able to afford a house due to those circumstances.

I have a couple questions that I hope can be answered.

1. How many Cards should I have open at one time?

2. I have heard having allot of closed accounts on your credit report looks bad. T or F (Explanation Please)

3. I have heard that you should always keep a small balance on all your cards. T or F (Explanation Please)

4. Should I try and get an outside loan from a banker or lender to get a lower APR than what they are offering at the dealership?

5. Any other useful tips to help keep my credit score on the rise without accruing allot of debt?

Thanks Allot.

My current credit score is 745 and I’ve built it solely by using credit cards and paying on time (but never had any loans). Somebody told me that the abscence of installement-paid loan will prevent my score from climbing much higher. Is it true? Should I take some consumer loan to boost my credit score since I am planning to apply for a mortgage in the near future?

I get some credit cards I would like to pay off as soon as possible. I read that you should pay the card with the higher interest rate first and then pay the minimum payment on the other cards. I like the idea of consolidating all your credit cards and make one payment , as this would make my life easier. Which option would be better, pay off each credit card or consolidate?
