ByInstructions on Home Depot Credit Limit Increase
Do you need to increase your credit limit with your Home Depot credit card? Starting off with a lower-than-desired credit limit is, unfortunately, not uncommon.
If this is the case, you might have already embarked on a journey to increase your credit limit with Home Depot. Unfortunately, many credit card issuers can make it difficult for consumers to request a credit limit increase and successfully get it.
For starters, finding the right information to get a limit increase doesn't always come without hindrances. Some companies either make it difficult for you to find the appropriate information on limit increases or want you to call and talk to one of their customer service representatives to see about initiating the process.
At DoNotPay, we want to make it easy and fast for you to request a credit limit increase with your Home Depot credit card. We're going to show you what steps to follow to increase your limit and how using .
Credit Limit Increase Process
The process of a credit limit increase depends on the credit card company you want the increase with. Some companies will automatically give you a limit increase after making so many on-time payments. Other companies allow you to request a credit limit increase at your convenience through one or a few methods. But regardless of which company you are requesting an increase with, all credit card companies follow basic financial guidelines that qualify you.
DoNotPay can also help you increase your credit limits with the following:
Financial Behavior
Your credit card issuer will examine your behavior from the point at which you were approved for your credit card. Ultimately, how you are as a paymaster will determine whether you can successfully get a limit increase. Some factors that determine a credit limit increase include:
- Number of missed payments
- Frequency of payments
- Your current card balance
- Income
- Credit score
Credit Pull
Another important thing to keep in mind is that your credit card issuer will need to pull your credit report. No matter how great of a paymaster you are, a credit pull is needed to process your request. There are two types of pulls that you may receive from a creditor: soft and hard.
- Soft pull. A soft inquiry occurs when an authorized person checks your credit report. A soft inquiry doesn't affect your credit score because it isn't attached to a specific application.
- Hard pull. A hard inquiry is when a company or lender requests to view your credit report. This type of inquiry will affect your credit score.
