Is having 7 credit cards a bad thing?
They are:
Cap One x2
Barclaycard Forward
Tesco Foundation
Marbles
Zopa
118118Money
Total credit limit is £10,250
They are mostly paid off every month, a couple of small balances under 30% of limit.

Your limits are low, so no reason to worry.
But make sure you clear them all in full, unless they're on 0% promos.0 -
The number of cards doesn't really matter, nor whether prime or sub, but what does is your payment history, your lack of cash withdrawals, your ratios of debt to credit limits, credit limits to income, electoral role history, overall credit history etcDeleted_User said:Is having 7 credit cards a bad thing?
