How are you using your personal line of credit, and what sort of limit have you achieved? I have a $500 line from my local CU, first opened over 10 years ago. The variable rate currently sits at 14.25% My income has increased since then, and I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to apply for an increase. It seems like it's marketed primarily as a reserve line for overdraft protection. Is a $10k limit appropriate? Have you financed a purchase for a short time using a PLOC?
I have $2,000 in a CLOC with NFCU. I have never used it, but have it for any short term liquidity issue, I keep my savings in a different CU. Or if I have to write a big check for something.
I have the grandfathered 15k CLOC and I have used it to speed up CC payoffs.
The way I did it if I can recall correctly is I placed all of my bills onto a card which had a 1,000 minimum monthly payment (50k balance?). That freed up cash flow. Then I would use my CLOC to make a 15k payment against the balance all at once and pay off the CLOC over a period of a few months. It allowed me to skip a CC payment, plus chopped down my monthly CC that way.
Just like people use refi's as a way to skip mortgage payments I was doing the same with extra large CC payments.
