CC raising credit limit, is this good news?

Hi All

I got my first, post DRO, credit card a few months ago in order to improve my credit. I have spent set amounts each month and paid off in full.

I received a letter this morning saying they are upping my credit limit from £600 to £1500, is this a positive thing? Does it mean that my score is improving? or should i reject the extension?

Many thanks in advance for advice or reassurance :)

    If it's your only card, then I'd accept it. It means the company sees you as an appropriate risk for a slightly higher limit.

    It has nothing to do with any credit score though, as they have nothing to do with anything. Just keep managing the card responsibly.
