When credit cards companies reduce your credit limit how does that affect your credit score?
It could be huge. BUT, if you have a $0 balance............which you SHOULD....it won't matter. It's all about percentages. A credit card w/ a $1000 limit w/ $300 on it...is OK (keep all cards below 30%). A credit card w/ a $500 limit and $300 on it is BAD (60% of the credit is USED). The key here is to "HAVE" CREDIT........NOT "USED" CREDIT. It's all about percentages. Credit is only credit......if it's available.

You continually charge things to your credit card with 1000 limit and spend more than limit in a given cycle and to avoid going over limit you keep making early payments is this bad for credit score?
Yes it will affect your score because of your utilization rate. Important: Reduce the balance of your credit cards to 30% and below of your credit limit. If you have a credit card with a $5,000 limit, your balance reported to the credit bureau should be $1500 and under in order to have a excellent credit score. If you go over this amount it will affect what is called your "utilization rate." Credit score formulas respond favorable to utilization 30% and below. It's a good idea to assess all of your credit cards and align them correctly with this formula. Use the form in the appendix. Please note: if you have an American Express card or card with no preset limits. You will be rated on the highest credit you have charged and the 30% rule still applies. Try using the card to increase your high credit limit by spending more with the card with cash you were already going to use and get that limit up to a ratio that will keep you within 30% of that high credit. This is why if you pay your credit off each month in full will not give you a great credit score.
