If you pay off (I assume you mean spend and pay off?) 150 pm on your credit card it will imporve your rating, but there are loads of other factors that'll mean you have a good rating. As far as I know as long as everything is above board and propper, a debt can be held on a CC until you die I guess..... are you planning on never paying off your debt? lolOfficial DFW Nerd Club - Member no. 784 - Proud to be dealing with my debts0

You need to let us know the credit limit, the amount you are looking to spend on the card each month and the interest rate.xXx0

Not knowing your full circumstances but unless it's a 0% CC then NOT paying the full amount each month is a really bad start to CC usage... you'll end up paying a lot of interest unless you pay in full.0 -

that sounds very good
to improve your credit rating once the 0% period is over, use the card regularly (say for petrol or whatever) and pay in full (set up a DD so you never forget).. this will show you as a good and regular payer.0 -

Doubt it coz it,s vulgar, so i'll take it upon myself to report it.:)Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution.
