OK. Here 's my story. My income last year was 106,500. The year bore that was 85,000 and before that, 58,000. I never went to college, so I have no student loans. I have 3 credit cards with 400.00 limits, (taken out before my current income) My total credit card debt is 1,000. My fiance' and I own a home with a mortgage payment of 1,800 a month. She makes 42,000 a year. I applied for a credit card the other day, and was only given a 300.00 limit. She applied for a credit card around the same time, and got a limit of 10,000. And has 2 other cards with 10K and 15K balances. My credit score is 655, her is 745. I know her score is better, but she also has 25K worth of debt. I had some late payments about 5 years ago (60 days) but thats it. No other debt. How could she get such better rates and limits on credit cards? Does your credit score count THAT much?
