How does a credit limit work, I just got my first credit card?

I just got my first credit card and it has a $2,500 limit on it. I have charged $2,225 on it. I will only be able to pay the minimum payment this bill cycle of $50. Though I should be able to pay it off in full by late September. In the mean time I need to pay some bills. Will I get a $2,500 credit limit the following cycle or just the remaining $275 until I pay the bill?

What are the benefits of having a good credit score?

Caesarion pyta:
What are the benefits of having a good credit score?

I’m a college student who got a credit card a little less than a year ago. I spend a lot (around $700 a month) and always pay back the total in full before the due date. My bank has increased my credit line three times since because of my good credit.

So are there any additional advantages to having a good credit score than easily getting approved for credit cards and getting large credit lines? Does it also project to any type of loans (i.e. it is easier to get approved for a car loan with a lower interest rate) or something?

How can I get my credit back on track so I can buy a house?

ice38034 pyta:
How can I get my credit back on track so I can buy a house?

Ok here is my story…I filed chapter 7 bankrupsey last year. My husband left me with a 3mo old special needs baby and between paying for his doctor bills and putting myself through college I was in $15,000 debt and I filed ch 7. Now I am out of college and want to get my credit back on track so I can buy a house in the next few years. I though if I got a credit card from a dept store to show that I can pay them back and establish credit that would work, but I get turned down every time I apply. My bank will not even let me have a debt card. I have a stable job now and I’m looking to settel down and get my life back on track. What steps do I need to take to get my credit back on track? Can anyone give me any advice?
