I have a low credit score (545) and would like too improve it by getting credit and paying it on time, problem is alot of creditors won’t accept be BECAUSE of my low credit, and I can’t just keep applying too everything because obviously that lowers your score. So PLEASE tell me which credit cards will give anyone a card even if the interest rate is insane!

Is it better for your credit to have several credit cards with moderate limit, or one card with a high limit?

I have zero debt. I also have several credit cards. I am wondering how it will affect my credit to request the highest limit for each card, or if I should cancel all but 2 and have those with high spending limits. Along the same lines, how does “available” credit affect one’s credit score negatively or positively? If I get a $50,000 limit on a card (with 0 balance) but say, go to buy a car, will I be denied because I have too much credit out there?

How many credit cards should I have open for a good credit score?

I have 4 credit cards (limits are 1000, 3300, and two 500s) and was considering getting rid of one 500 credit card. Should I pay the whole thing off and KEEP it or GET RID of it??

How many credit cards should a person have?

I know having too many is not good for a person’s credit score and looks bad to those checking this credit. But not having any credit (such as cards) is not good either. So is it best to have more than one card?

How do I switch credit cards and not affect my credit score?

I want to get a frequent flyer credit card but I already have 3 credit cards with generous limits. I don’t need these credit cards and I would like to cancel them and have this “possible credit” to go towards the new card. I heard once that canceling a credit card has a negitive effect on your credit score. Is this true? If so, how do I switch credit cards and avoid affecting my credit score in a bad way?
