A simple Free Tip to Improve Your Rating

Credit scores are worked out in a number of ways. One simple way to boost your rating is to increase the amount of credit available to you while not actually increasing the amount of debt you are in. A simple way to do this is to apply for a credit card (one without a monthly fee) and simply never use it. In fact I recommend going as far as cutting up the card as soon as you get it.

By doing this the credit ratings companies will see that here is a person who has access to X amount of credit and is not using it and will therefore increase you score. This is just one very simple and free method for improving your credit score. In reality there are lots of simple tips like this out there that can have a massive impact on your score.
