The credit system isn’t a mystery; it’s a checklist. If your score is stalled, you likely have a gap in your Credit Mix.
The 5-Minute Audit:
💳 Revolving: Count your credit cards.
🚗 Installment: Count your auto, student, or personal loans.
🎟️ Open: Count any charge cards (like some Amex cards).
The Strategy:
📉 The Gap: If all your accounts are the same type, your score is hitting a ceiling.
🛠️ The Fix: You don't necessarily need more credit; you need the right type to balance the scale.
✅ The Fact: Lenders reward diversity. Auditing your mix turns a "mysterious" score into an obvious fix.
