We recommend an overall utilization of 20 per cent or lower on each of your cards \u2013 so, if you have a credit line of $5,000, your revolving balance should never exceed $1.000. This way, lenders and financial institutions will see that you\u2019re a responsible borrower.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1\" ><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Keep Bills and Balances Paid<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The most common factor behind low credit scores and underwhelming financial performance is not keeping your accounts paid off when it\u2019s time to take care of bills. It may seem like a hassle, but ensuring that your various loans, bills and obligations are paid is key to helping your credit rating move back up.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-end\" ><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Have Only a Few Accounts<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Here&#8217;s a little tip for the next time you want to open a new credit card \u2013 every time you process an application, your card\u2019s issuing institution will send out a credit inquiry to see your payment history, utilization, and length of credit. Every time an inquiry is found in your report, your score is bound to dip \u2013 this isn\u2019t a big deal, as it will rebound with time, but don\u2019t get in the habit of opening new accounts too frequently. Credit companies may see this as detrimental to your overall track record.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><!-- .wrc-column-grid -->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2020\/05\/10201301\/E6-KeysonpaperA_B-1024x395.jpg\" alt=\"car keys and a pen on a piece of paper\" class=\"wp-image-10049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2020\/05\/10201301\/E6-KeysonpaperA_B-1024x395.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2020\/05\/10201301\/E6-KeysonpaperA_B-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2020\/05\/10201301\/E6-KeysonpaperA_B-768x296.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2020\/05\/10201301\/E6-KeysonpaperA_B.jpg 1038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/blog\/benefits-of-choosing-ford-canada-credit-when-buying-or-leasing-a-ford-vehicle\/\">Why choose Ford Canada Credit?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Get credit approval at Sherwood Ford in Edmonton AB<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you\u2019ve had your eye on a new Ford vehicle for some time now, we\u2019re here to help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/car-loans-in-sherwood-park-ab\">get approved for financing<\/a> through Ford Canada Credit. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/contact-sherwood-ford-in-sherwood-park-ab\">Contact us today<\/a> to apply, and we\u2019ll be sure to contact you with all the steps you should take!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Especially because automobiles are sold as collateral assets, keeping your financial health a priority is a must when you sign on the dotted line.
