    When you see the debt to income ratio on your credit report...how are they figuring your income?

    No where does it state or imply what my income is.
    Yet, the TU report says I am at 99%!

    Although this is grossly inflated, I do know that some accounts that have been closed for years are still showing as open. Even so, what do they know about how much money I make?

    Its debt to credit available ratio.

    ex - you have amongst all your open cards 10,000 in credit lines. Of that you owe 9,000-- you are at 90% utilization.

    Hahaha, I don't get it. I have one Crapitol One card with most of it maxed out. This is how they are coming up with that figure? Do they not use installment loans such as auto's or mortgage loans to figure in to the debt to income ratio?

    Are you 99% utilized on it?
    I wouldn't think so - its closed end, no line of credit. Think it only applies if its marked revolving.
    You're fixated on this aren't you? 8)~~
