in Credit cards
So ive managed to increase my credit score over the last few years.
As a result my credit card has offered to DOUBLE my credit limit... from £1000 to £2000.
Ill probably never use the allowance because im too responisble now.
Will accepting it help my score or hurt it?

Neither as the score and rating you see are for your eyes. Financial institutions have their own internal algorithm methods for scoring applications.

It's still a very low limit, so as long as you trust yourself, accept it.
The pretend CRA score will drop but lenders will view you more positively.1 -
