I had an over the limit charge on a Chase card (merchant waited over a month to post a large purchase, and I was a bit sloppy and thought I'd used a different card). I immediately paid it down.
I'm trying to bring up my credit score for a home purchase. Chase isn't reporting my credit limit, but it is reporting my high utilization, which is above my limit. Does the FICO formula treat that as my limit? Should I ask Chase to report my limit? Or will the score realize that I either went overbalance or had my limit reduced?
Its an Amazon.com Visa. The current balance is 0, the highest balance carried is from around September, and is like $300 over the limit.
Sounds like not reporting that may be buying me an extra $300 in CL.
