Credit building steps
1
Get utilization below 30%
Biggest score impact. Pay Capital One to $750.
2
No new credit applications
Every hard inquiry costs points. Hold 6 months before mortgage shopping.
3
Zero late payments
Payment history is 35% of score. One late payment drops you 50-100 points.
4
Keep old accounts open
Do not close old cards. Length of history matters.
5
Request credit limit increases
Same balance, higher limit = lower utilization = higher score.
