I have a total of 8 credit cards right now, all with very low balances when compared to the limits. Does anyone know if FICO penalizes you for having too many cards? I know that ideally you should have 3-4 cards, but at what point do they start deducting points for too many accounts?
IT IS A SECRET, THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW THE ANSWER... BACK IN THE OLDEN DAYS (70's & 80's)...if you paid EVERY bill on time, that was all that mattered... NO YOUR F.I.C.O. SCORE OR HOW MANY CREDIT CARDS YOU HAVE...
