Credit Card Myth #3

Myth #3: It’s Okay If You Go Over Your Credit Card Limit Because The Credit Card Company Authorized the Purchase – FALSE!

Nothing is further from the truth. Don’t go over your credit card limits, even if it’s just by one dollar. Doing so deals you a double penalty and you could lose 80-120 points from your scores. Why? Going over your limit makes it appear that you cannot hold to a creditor’s agreement and that you are overextended. Something to note: even if you call your credit card company and they approve an additional $ 200 over the telephone, you still get penalized.
