    credit card limit increase.. lying about income??

    what if ur looking for new credit line..... and ur income is $200,000

    but you put income as $500,000 so you get a high ass limit..

    is there any real risk to this???

    do they report that to IRS or something?

        No they dont report it to the irs.

        and most likely they wouldnt mind anyways ( visa i mean )

        the harder it is for you to pay your bill in a timely fashion , the more money they make.

          and trust me, if you're putting that as your income, they're going to want to see a tax return to verify your income

            Pretty sure they verify things like that. Otherwise any Joe Blow could simply say they have a high income to get a shit load of credit. Any credit application I have ever seen also asks for a bank account number.

                Banks don't really give a shit what your income is. They look at credit history and nothing else.

                    nah they didnt verify for my friend...

                    He put income as X3 what it is, and they gave him higher limit..

                    He wants higher limit cuz its good for credit due to cushion..

                    Now he got a $50k limit on AMEX

                        Don't ever do it with Amex. They are notorious doing manual account reviews where they make you send in your records, even after you've been approved and will terminate your credit lines for lying, even if you're payment record is flawless.

                              The info you put there is only used to see if you are stupid enough to say you don't make their minimum requirement.

                                I have an old friend in prison for this very thing right now.

                                He created all the paper trail he needed to prove he made X amount each year. Falsifying tax returns etc.

                                Ended up getting like $40K in shit.

                                What gets me is the guy who raised him, his stepfather was a retired deputy sherrif. The whole family are pious religious types. In fact the company he was working for, where he could falsify all the necessary documents was some kind of Christian company that supplied Christian products.

                                When the credit card agencies came calling trying to collect, his stepdad and mom defended him, acting as if he did nothing wrong.

                                It was a real strange thing to watch these people go through.

                                      Fucking CC companies lol. None of them would up my limits at all when I needed. Good credit, and I pay all my cards off every month in full. Maybe because they don't make the extra $ off of my accounts.

                                      Finally got a Amex card with no limit though, so that problem is now solved hopefully.

                                        I don't know how is it in USA.
                                        At least here in spain my bank has never had problems with raising my credit card limits. One of my credit cards has 10k euro daily limit and 300k euro monthly limit. I use it to pay some big bills, and it has never been a problem. By default all credit cards here come with 600 euro daily limit, 3k weekly and 6k monthly unless you request it the other way, but it's solved by just calling your bank and asking them to raise the limits.

                                          When applying for a credit card they can investigate your income sources and for something that large, they likely will. Visa/MC aren't in the habit of extending large credit limits without verifying it.

                                                Why would you want a huge limit? Potential fraud, works against further credit requests.

                                                Banks have a tough time giving you a good rate on a mortgage when you have empty credit sitting there for 1/4 of the mortgage value.

                                                  Finally got a Amex card with no limit though, so that problem is now solved hopefully.

                                                  if you believe that amx is no limit i got a bridge i would like to sell you

                                                        I don't have outrageous limits (probably $100K total with all my cards) but I have never had a credit card, mortgage company or car purchase/lease company check my income or my bank balance. Hell, I can move money from bank to bank to bank and make it look like I make a few million a year (which I do not ;) ).

                                                        When I was in the corporate world I told all my employees that I would "agree" to whatever income they wanted to say they made. I didn't have to make the payment - they did. Same now - if you want more credit and lie about your income, you're just going to get into a situation where you can't pay your bills.

                                                        I don't know about credit cards, but most mortgage and car loan applications you sign where everything you've stated is true. I suppose if worse came to worse they could come after you, but with the subprime banking industry in the shape it's in, I doubt they have the time/resources to check all the late pays information.

                                                        Right now it seems like every other month my limits are being raised and I'm seriously thinking of taking advantage of some of the low interest credit card rates even though I hate carrying credit card debt. I'm just worried the rates are going to start going UP and I won't be able to lock in $X in those rates again. Right now I can borrow at 1% and put it into a 4+% MM. Then if the MM rates hits bottom, I can take the money and pay off the CC.

                                                          In reality, there's virtually no risk ... other than getting carried away buying more stuff than one can afford on the extra credit.

                                                          Most credit card companies (talking about personal credit cards, not business) basically evaluate income between $0 and say $150K ... above that it make little to no difference in the amount of credit that's extended.

                                                          Credit card companies typically consider far more than just income... on an aside, under $15K or so usually equals automatic denial or at best the shittest card one can imagine with crazy application fees, insane monthly fees, weird surcharges, etc.

                                                          The items below are the ones that really make a difference whether one gets a higher limit, or possibly even a lower one...

                                                          * Credit scores from one or more of the credit bureaus; each use a different method / scale so the scores will often vary somewhat from each other.

                                                          * Amount of unused / used credit (debt ratio).

                                                          * Highest balance history on each card - especially important in instances when one is asking for more credit.

                                                          * Payment history - being occasionally late is usually no biggie to one's credit score, but other creditors likely won't consider credit increase requests for about 6 months from date of the last late payment.

                                                          Ron

                                                            Contrary to popular belief, they use what you have claimed previously in some credit DB they all have access to. When you apply for bank loans, car loans, other credit cards. You have listed what you make for years. All that is in a secondary DB.

                                                            When making credit decisions, they use a combination of your current app, that DB, and your credit score and sometimes assets (i.e. real estate).

Im making 4x what i made last year but they based my limits from what ive made in the last few years. this was with 2 different banks, both that offer credit cards as well.

                                                                                    I think they use that line to see if you are a liar or not.
