  2. 1. Make Multiple Payments To keep a low percentage of credit card utilization, consider making multiple payments throughout the billing cycle. By doing so, you can reduce your outstanding balance more frequently, keeping it well below your credit limit. This proactive approach helps maintain a healthy credit utilization ratio, positively impacting your credit score and overall financial well-being.

  3. 2. Settle all of your Balances Promptly Paying your bills consistently on time and in full will also be a significant factor in enhancing your credit score. Your creditworthiness will be negatively impacted by a skipped payment, which can appear on your credit file for up to seven years. In addition, if you only make the minimum payments, interest will be applied to the entire outstanding debt of the subsequent billing period.

  4. 3. Examine your Credit Report Thoroughly This is another element that can raise your credit score. A thorough review of your credit report can benefit you in two ways: first, it will alert you to any errors that may have occurred there; second, it will reveal the factors that are lowering your credit score. In order to raise your increase credit score, you can therefore perform the required actions. Additionally, be sure to notify the credit reporting agency if you find any inaccuracies in your credit score.

  5. 4. Keep a low percentage of Credit Card Utilization Maintaining a low percentage of credit card utilization is crucial for financial health. It involves keeping your outstanding credit card balances significantly below your credit limit. Aim to utilize only a small portion of your available credit, ideally below 30%. This responsible usage demonstrates financial prudence, boosts your credit score, and ensures manageable debt levels, fostering financial stability and flexibility.

  6. 5. Keep Unused Credit Card Accounts Open The majority of people mistakenly believe that cancelling an old, inactive credit account will raise their credit score, in reality, it will have a totally opposite impact and will affect your credit score. Closing a credit card shortens your credit history which is not a good thing in the eye of lenders and it also lowers your available credit limit which in turn, increases your credit utilization percentage.
