Q: I have 8 credit cards and have decided to pay them in full to keep them all with zero balances. Want to boost my credit score. I am currently at 652 with TransUnion. I am going with cash only. Do you think, some credit cards can be closed due to inactivity?

A: Depends on a bank a given credit card is from, your overall credit picture and who knows what else. I normally rest my credit cards around 6, may be 7 months. I have not yet had a credit card closed due to inactivity. My wife had Chase cut the credit limit on her business Visa from $18,000 to $6,900 after about a year of total inactivity. Then of course, many other issuers stepped in with their offers, so she is not complaining. I know for a fact that Target Visa gets often closed or credit limit is decreased if kept inactive for 4 to 6 months.

Capital One actually has repeatedly sent us rather nice offers with 0% percent transfer rate for 12 months and only 3% transfer fee, which is more than decent by today transfer offers, with almost everyone else asking at least 4%. Each of us has Capital One credit card that has been inactive for at least 7 months. I started using mine, because I have a feeling that after a few nice offers, the card can be closed or credit limit trimmed severely due to inactivity. I want to keep my $20,000 line of credit in tact, who knows what can happen.

    The real goal of health care legislation, the real goal of cap-and-trade, and the real goal of the stimulus is to rip the guts out of our private economy and transfer wide swaths of it over to the government to control. Do not be deluded by the propaganda. These initiatives are vehicles for change. They are not goals in and of themselves except in their ability to deliver power. They and will make matters much worse, for that is their design.
