I need to know how long does it take the bank to repo your car if you are 2 payments behind. Can I make arrangements to make a payment next week
No, it won't hurt your credit. In fact it will improve your score.
If you are asking as it relates to your credit score.... Use your card each month and pay the balance in full each month. If you have the card charged up to your limit, that brings your score down. Making on time payments each month helps your score.
Yes but it will also list that you are making payments!
== == Each month that you make an on-time payment your credit score increases.
Number of credit cards do not matter, what matters is your payments. As long as you pay in full every month and don't go over 30% on your credit cards you should see maximum results..

It CAN have a positive effect, but it also depends on the rest of your credit report. Leaving a small balance is advice often given to people who are looking to establish credit: borrow money, pay most of it, but show that you can make payments responsibly by making payments on a small balance.
Increases are caused by paying any credit cards promptly, and on time. Decreases are caused by you making late (or no) payments each month. Additionally - CCJ's will always have a detrimental effect on your score.
A good way to raise your credit score, is to get a credit card with a limit on it, and only use about $10 a month on it, and pay it back immediately. This will help to raise your credit score gradually.
While you are meeting the terms of the loan contract and making all the payments required on time, the lender will not see that there is any problem with your loan.
If you already have a mortgage, no effect. If not, and you have made up the payment,and all other credit payments are ok, and you qualify in all other respects, not much of an effect. But if you have credit cards and are making payments, their interest rates may go up dramatically.
