Credit file shows "Your Borrowing Power is low"

As per title

What can I do so that this won't affect my file negatively?
Is this only an indication and outcome of my reported income with the bureaus and nothing else?


I make 50k a year and have 4 credit cards which I use moderately. Rarely over 35% of their credit limit.

    If your file contains accurate data and is free of adverse credit information i.e defaults, missed payments etc then that's all that matters.
