The smart way to build your credit score is to use 50% of your credit line. Some of the best practices to raise your credit limit is to pay off your balance for that month or pay half the amount and the other half the next. Paying the minimum due may get you into trouble and would results to increase in your interest rate. However, if you cannot afford to do so then pay the minimum amount due just make sure though to make another payment for that month which is twice the minimum. This will renew the cc company’s trust in you and can confidently call them for a lower interest and a higher limit in 6 months.

I live in Alabama and the Statue of limitations on Open Accounts is 3 years. A collection agency is after me for an old Visa credit card debt. The lawyer I hired suggests that I settle because it is not an open account but a written contract account which has a SOL of 6 years. The collection agency provided a proof that I have signed the credit card application. The research that I have done mostly state that it is an open account but found one in wiki where a  credit card could be a written  contract. I want to know if my attorney is right before I go to court. I need facts not opinions.
