I am currently 21 years old. When I was 18 I applied for a Capital One credit card. The card has helped my credit a lot until recently I noticed that Capital One does not report your actual credit limit. If you have $1300 on your credit card they report that $1300 is your credit limit as well. Even if your actual credit limit is $2500. Capital One makes it look like your card is Maxed out at all times. So today I canceled the card. I pulled my credit the other day and Capital One did report that my card was at a $0 balance however they reported my credit limit as $0. Do you actually think this is pulling down my credit score? Is it going to hurt me that I did cancel this card? I have excellent credit at the moment but I still don't won't anything weighing it down. I have had the card for 3 years. I have outstanding payment history with them. I have never missed a payment and I have always paid the card ontime.
