Tim asked:


I have only have one revolving credit card, and I have a very high credit score. Because of this overall score they subsequently increase my credit line, even though I don’t ask for or use this revolving line of credit. Question? I have been told if you ask for a credit line decrease they lower your overall credit score? Why? What can you do to minimize a lowered credit score?

    They will lower the limit if you ask them to. But why bother as long as you have a zero balance?

    you do not want to lower your limit.

    Think of it as a asset the less assets you have the less likely you are to pay your debt in case of a emergency.

    It will not cost you anything to keep it if you don’t use it.
