Which of the 3 ways to improve your credit score? My brother's credit card score is a "C" no past due amounts, but he owns his own business and all the credit cards are very close to the max amount owing. Even though he pays every month on time, the interest rate went very high because of the debt to income ratio. So would it be better to try and get all the credit cards balance owing less than 50% of the total credit available or pay off the higher interest rate card first or the debt-snowball method. What would be the best for start getting approved for low interest credit cards? For years he had credit cards to run his business with low interest rates, but as soon as his balance owing got close to the maxium amount of credit available, his interest rate went sky high. I have been told to pay off the higher interest rate card first, but then other people told me to tell my brother to get all the credit cards below 50% of the total amount of credit available to improve his credit card score.
