Requesting a Credit Limit Increase. While it could be a good idea to ask for a limit increase on your credit card (and might help your credit score in the long run), it could also damage your score in the short-term if it initiates a hard credit inquiry.
Use Less Credit. While you can lower your credit utilization by increasing your credit limit, you can also attack the other side of the issue. If you have 40 percent utilization due to a $1,000 balance and a $2,500 limit, spending or owing less on your credit card will have the same impact as raising your credit limit.Cutting your credit card balance back to $600 will reduce your utilization to 24 percent and may improve your score.or instance, if you have a $1,000 balance and a $2,500 limit, you have 40 percent credit utilization ratio. If you received a $1,500 increase, which would have given you a $4,000 limit, your overall credit utilization would have gone down to 25 percent.
