I was looking at my TU credit monitoring and it was saying what helps...and what hurts my score...And before my secured CC with the $1,000 CL showed up it would always say...Not having any revolving credit it hurting my score......NOW it's says ....Not having a CL OVER $2,000.00 is hurting my score....what the heck!!! I can't catch a break lol

I agree Completely!!!
Some FAKOs will ding you for not having high CLs. That's what I thought about FICO scoring when I first joined. I clearly recall a poster who was in her 60s. IIRC, she had a mortgage and 3 CCs and all 3 FICO scores were in the 800s. All 3 CCs were $500 and under and it seemed like $500, $300, and $200 CL (that was Target I remember). My misconception is that higher CLs make higher scores. It's easy to make that inference because anyone who posts in CCs with high CLs has a high FICO usually. But the opposite was true. It was the high scores that led to higher CLs. In her case she refused to allow CLIs. She said she didn't want any more credit and would always ask for a CLD if they gave it to her automatically. She taught me a lesson that higher CLs don't equal higher scores (well, FICO anyway).

My mom did not have current CCs and her bottom score was 829.
