Statement Date or Due Date Explanation
Переглядів 1,9 тис.4 роки тому
Statement Date or Due Date Explanation
Pay off balances, debt consolidation or bankruptcy
I don't agree with debt consolidation. When you consolidate your debt you close out accounts.
@@MoneyMelJr I dont agree with debt consolidation either. Most times, they are front loaded with interest. But people still use them to free up debt.
When is the other way around where the parent has financial problems and opens the card and their kids name so they can even more in debt and then the kid ends up being 18 with jacked up credit.. that's a form of child abuse😢
I agree. Also the kid could file charges against the parent.
🫡💯
Awesome video
Uncle June bug 😅. We all have one of those 😅
Basic information, but im glad you're helping people
Correct me if I’m wrong. My children are six or four years old, adding them as authorized users at 18 years old will be better because it’s my credit history that’s important not the AGE that they become authorized users?
That is 100% correct.
Thank you so much for the advice.. I’m on my way to good credit 🎉
You're welcome. I'm glad I could be of some help to you.
Why did you stop making videos? Did you hit you 100k savings goal?
Isn’t the statement date before the due date though?
1) Pay a large down 2) let it report 3) talk funds from large card to pay remaining cards
So explicit 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you family. I truly appreciate your feedback 🙏🏿💯🙏🏿
where can i buy a legit auto primary 50k-100k?
I'd say look at people that you already know.
i got a 711 score on my transunion ..im trying to get a 10k limit or better...what card do u think i should apply for first??? or should i buy a tradeline first
Don't buy a tradeline. Your limit is going to go off of your income. I'd say look at the cards without a maintenance fee that has perks that you can use.
Record at a higher volume. I can't hear shit
That was my first video 😅
Exsactly the info I wanted! Thank you
You're welcome family. I'm glad I could be of some value.
I want to know what bob does to pay 19 k in a month or two.

This my first having a credit card how much money should I spend on my 375.00 dollar credit card to keep my credit utlazttion low
You can spend whatever you'd like. Just do not carry over a balance greater than 7% ($26) of your credit ($375) limit.
the bill pay date and the closing statement i see 1 date is the 3rd and the statement is the 7th ,what is the important of the gap between the pay date and the statement closing
if you have a balance and they say pay 30%, lest say on $5000 balance that would be $50 -$150 , if i pay 15% on the 5000 balance would that make the Minimum Payments $25-$125🤔
thanks man
I appreciate Money Mels video but I'm frankly concerned that so many people find this enlightening. This is about as basic as breathing oxygen to live. My 17 year old knows about CC billing cycles. Financial education is so inept in the US its no wonder we're in this condition. God help us.
The music kinda killed it bro tbh
your the only person who didn’t over complicate this, you made this more simpler i appreciate it
Thank you Family, I appreciate the feedback 🙏🏿
According to the experian website , there is no fixed method of how, when or even if a credit card company reports to the credit agency.
That is 100% true. That's because each credit is their own individual entity. They aren't governed by any laws that says when they have to report. So Best Practice is to reach out to your specific creditor for their rules and regulations..
Great breakdown. Thank you!
You're welcome Family!!
Lets say i used more than 30% or 80% when the due date or before i pay it in full
Ifbit goes after your due date and carry over to the next month, it will report negatively on your report.
@@MoneyMelJr you meant that whatever amount i dont pay before the due date it will report to the creditor right altough i heard people often say that you can max it out your card but before the due date make sure is under 30%
Only the balance remaining after your statement closes will report. No balance you may have had before the due date will report if you pay it off.
Oh k thank you 🙏🏽
No problem, that's what family is for.
When will it update on credit karma?
It will hit your Credit Report within 45 days or sooner.
Uncle junebug can pay off 20 percent of his usage two days before the report date and then pay the remaining 20 percent on the due date, and it'll boost his credit even more.
That's 100% false. It doesn't give you any higher boost than just paying your bill on the due date.
Whats the best way to pay it back ...minimum payment or pay it off and use the 30% again ?
Pay it off, then use the 30% again. You actually can use however much you like. Just pay it off when it's due.
Thank you
You're welcome
Great video man final I understood the difference
Thank you very much for your feedback.

My apologies, Dasa. I'm going to begin to work on that within the next 30 days. I appreciate the love family 🙌🏾💯🙌🏾
@@MoneyMelJr ahhh it's all good my guy. That's good to hear. Hope you're doing well 🙏🏿💪🏿🤑
EVERYTHING is going AMAZING!! When God gives you exactly what you pray for😎🔥😎
@@MoneyMelJr 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
so let’s say I spend 50% and when when it comes time to pay I can pay 30% and leave a 20% balance on my statement?
Yes
New subbie here! Thank you for the information!
Heyyy Cousin K, thanks for joining the family 🙌🏾💯🙌🏾
This is the first video that I have seen where someone has said to pay it by the due date…other videos say so pay it at the closing of the statement, because that is the date that it would be reported to the credit bureaus… so for instance if you have a $500 credit limit and let’s say for this month your closing statement is April 6 and your due date is May 1. The suggestion is to pay it on the closing date which is April 6 now I’m very confused.
1) Pay on your due date. 2) Then don't use your card again until after the closing date.
Thank you bro
You're welcome Family 🙌🏿💯🙌🏿
Is there any benefit to having let’s say 1% carry over into the next billing cycle as opposed to having it all paid off every billing cycle?
That changes from company to company. With dealing specifically with your Credit Score. The lower your debt usage the more points you receive for that category.
@@MoneyMelJr gotcha. Thank you that helps a lot. I'll just continue to pay off all my debt each billing cycle to grow my credit score. Its been working for me so far.
No problem Bryce, that's what family is for.
I am considering doing this for someone and I appreciate your explanation. I might come back and give another comment. Do you have any references for supporting your information, like authoritative web sites or something? No disrespect intended, but I would like more than just "a guy on a UA-cam video said...." I've done a little research, maybe two hours invested in the research, but I haven't found something written by an authoritative source which explains this.
No, I consider myself the authority on what I talk about. I've invested years of research through clients and my personal credit.
Hey my man, I appreciate the video and what you doing for us credit noobs, I do have a question for you though.. will spending OVER 30% of your credit card/cards usage but paying it ALL off before your bill is due, still hurt your credit, from where you spent over 30% but had it all payed off or even below 30% before your bill is due? Or should you ALWAYS keep your cards under 30% at all times?
1) No, that will not hurt your credit. 2) You can actually max your card out and pay it all off on your due date and still have excellent credit.
What if your balance is $3500 and you paying a bit over the minimum, eg. Due is $165 and I pay about $170 a month? Cause I got other cards to pay.
1) It doesn't matter how much you pay over the minimum. What matters is in the end what does the percentage come up to after the statement is closed.
So i pay before the due date but does it have to be in full all the time? Or can it be spread out in order to get a good credit score? Becuz i spread pay and my credit score is still a dam zero. Im really getting frustrated about this becuz ive been using my credit card the past few months and knowing that it was a waste of time/money im feeling very upset.
1) I don't see in any situation why your score will be a zero if you have a credit card. 2) I remember when my score was in the 300's and it was terrible. 3) Try paying your bill on the due date and not using your card again until after the statement close. 4) How many other open credit accounts do you have?
@MoneyMelJr huh... OK. Maybe I'm my credit score wrong. I'll double check after statement closes. Idk what to do after that if nothing changes. 😕
Big Ups homie, I appreciate your Input. Shout out to Aunt June. God Bless 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the love family 🙌🏾💯
Thank you I plan on helping someone who asked me, some real great info!!!
That's what it's all about, family. If we all help each other then we'll all be in a better place.
Hey Mel Jr, I just ordered a Amex since I do a lot of groceries shopping. They gave me a good limit, however, when I did some calculation, I would only use 19% of that card. In the past, when I used my credit card with a very low percentage, my score decreased and when I called Equifax to know what was the reason, they said that's because I don't use enough percentage. Now, I am getting anxious because I barely buy stuff and I don't want the same experience again. Please, what should I do?
I can't hear you!!!!
You mean you got a Amex Centurion card within 5 months.
No, a Black Master Card.
@@MoneyMelJr thanks for prompt answering.
Ah shi i just spent more than 50% of my card what should i do? Its my first month too
1) Make sure you pay it off on your Due Date. 2) If you cannot do that pay it down to 9% at least.
