Credit limit low

I just received my credit report and my credit limit is low.
I have a loan I pay regularly and my mortgage. My bank account is always a couple of hundred £ in credit each month.  What can I do to improve this?

    You would already have known what your credit limit is, without looking at your report. Why is it concerning you now?

    If you need a higher credit limit, ask the lender if they will increase it, or take out another card.  But don't do it because of any advice from a CRA.

    Throw any disposable incomes at your highest rate debt, if the rate is more than your savings are getting.
  • I suspect OP meant that their Credit Score was low - which is irrelevant anyway.
