Can Stoozing Damage Your Credit Card Rating?
People who stooz credit cards may make money in the short term,
but if they are not careful their credit rating may be damaged.
Stoozing credit cards by taking 0% interest introductory offers
can be lucrative. Many people make thousands of pounds using
this method over and over again. The problem comes when you have
too many applications for credit on file, which can have an
adverse effect on your credit rating. Credit ratings (or credit
scorings) can be effected by many different factors, including
changes of address, changes of employer, defaults on payments
etc, but did you know that your credit rating can be effected by
the amount of applications
you make for credit, and also the
amount of credit available to you at any one time.
Credit card companies, banks and hire purchase companies all
share information about their customers. This can lead to your
credit score being reduced if you have stoozed lots of credit
cards. Try to apply for as few cards as possible, and leave the
applications as late as possible to spread them apart if you are
a stoozer. Also try not to apply for any credit facility that
you may not need.
