Credit Cards - Mastercard

mony ou asked:


I have 4 credit cards with approx. $25,000.00 worth of debt on them. I would like to get ahold of a non-profit debt counseling service in order to get rid of the high interest rates and pay them off alot sooner instead of only paying the interest and the over the limit fees. I have not used these cards for the past 5-6 years and the accounts are closed except for me making payments on them. I am not even touching the actual principal that I owe, although, I have probably paid enough on these cards to have actually paid off the actual principal. How is the best way to do this and what are some reputalbe non-profit agencies that will help achieve this? I have also heard that some credit cards will take a settlement on some accounts. Is this a good idea and how much of the amount owed do they usually want? I realize that this may hurt my credit rating but to be honest with you it isn’t worth squat now, so what is the difference? Does the debt consolidation hurt your credit as well?

I want to advertise a product via the internet, for the international market. It can be bought only by a Credit Card.

Therefore I would like to know, per each country in the world, how many Credit Cards are there, or: How many Credit Cards per resident in each country?

I am trying to rebuild my credit after ID theft, a couple of problems that were mine and years of basically not having any credit reported. (I primarily use my debit card and pay cash for everything). I make good money now and am trying to rebuild in order to purchase a condo in the next couple of years. My good accounts (rental, club, cable, cell, etc.) have not reported my good credit. So how many cards should I take out that will help boost my credit score but not hinder my credit. Thank you!

I have a couple questions that I hope can be answered.

1. How many Cards should I have open at one time?

2. I have heard having allot of closed accounts on your credit report looks bad. T or F (Explanation Please)

3. I have heard that you should always keep a small balance on all your cards. T or F (Explanation Please)

4. Should I try and get an outside loan from a banker or lender to get a lower APR than what they are offering at the dealership?

5. Any other useful tips to help keep my credit score on the rise without accruing allot of debt?

Thanks Allot.

Edward G asked:


I have several credit cards that have annual membership fees required. But I do not use them and have no plans on using them in the future. I’ve been told that if I cancel these cards that my credit scores will suffer because of the cancellations. Is there a way to cancel these cards without causing anymore danage to my credit scores?

I want to get a frequent flyer credit card but I already have 3 credit cards with generous limits. I don’t need these credit cards and I would like to cancel them and have this “possible credit” to go towards the new card. I heard once that canceling a credit card has a negitive effect on your credit score. Is this true? If so, how do I switch credit cards and avoid affecting my credit score in a bad way?

Kat asked:


I know having too many is not good for a person’s credit score and looks bad to those checking this credit. But not having any credit (such as cards) is not good either. So is it best to have more than one card?

Test asked:


I heard having too many credit cards can lower your FICO score even if you pay them full each month. How many can you get before they drop your score?

I had problem getting a credit card when I had no credit history and then after I finally got one, I had difficult time getting another one, because banks said I had “too few” revolving accounts. Now I have 5 credit cards and only 1 of them carry balance. My balance to credit ratio is 6% and my FICO score is 740.
