My friend pulled her TU report yesterday and her fourth reason code said "Not enough mortgage accounts".....WTF? Kellie
The credit bureaus are grasping at straws. One of my reason codes under Credit Expert was "total credit extended to you across your bankcard accounts is less than the average in your credit category". So I should go and apply for more cards and get higher credit limits. But if I did that my reason would read "credit extended to you....is more than the average". There is no winning with them. Dani
Dani, "Credit extended to you is more than the average" was actually one of the reasons that improved my score according to Experian's CreditManager. The also explained that "Balance is more than average" was one of the reasons my score was not higher. For KHM, I don't know what would help. For you, start paying down your debt to prompt them to increase your credit line automatically. That seems the be the reason why I never had to ask Direct Merchants Bank to increase mine.

WHEN YOU PAY $30,000 OF CREDIT CARDS OFF IN ONE MONTH (NO BT)...AND LOSE F.I.C.O. POINTS...YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS...
