Can I increase my credit limit?

Yes, you can increase your credit limit in the state of Georgia, however, you must meet certain criteria. First, you must prove that you are able to afford the higher limit. This can include demonstrating that you have a steady source of income, a good credit score, and a manageable debt-to-income ratio. Second, you must satisfy the credit card issuer’s requirements. Many credit card companies now use an algorithm to determine if a customer is eligible for a higher credit limit. The algorithm reviews income, spending habits, payment history, and 2 to 3 other factors to determine if a customer is a low-risk borrower. If the algorithm finds that you are a low-risk borrower, the credit card company may increase your credit limit. Finally, you may need to request an increase. Credit card companies will generally not unsolicitedly increase a customer’s limit; if you want a higher credit limit, you must ask for it. If you want to increase your credit limit, contact the credit card issuer and explain your request. The issuer may increase your limit after they review your income and spending. Generally, if you meet the criteria, credit card companies in Georgia are willing to increase their customers’ credit limits.
