What Is A Tradeline?

When you look at your credit report, you see something called a credit line or tradeline. It is each individual entry for a mortgage, auto loan, or credit card, etc. Each credit line will have two very important numbers: credit limit and current balance.

One of the places many consumers get hurt is when they allow the current balance to exceed 50% of the limit. In other words, they carry a balance of $500 on a credit card with a $1000 limit. Ideally, the “utilization percentage” should be under 20%. This is true for each card individually, as well as all the cards collectively, meaning that it is not OK to have a couple cards with small balances and one that is almost to the limit.

One way to get improve your score quickly is to get a tradeline with a high limit and a very low balance. The company I recommend can be seen at www.addacreditline.com. By using them, you can get a $5,000 or $10,000 credit line with a small balance because you are purchasing electronic downloads and music with prepaid credits.
