Lenders to guess your income from credit report


creditcardsYou may never know when it happens, but lenders may begin guessing your income before they approve your credit application when the new Credit CARD Act takes effect on February 22. 

The new law requires lenders to consider your ability to pay any new or additional debt before approving a credit card application. While they could do something as simple as ask you, they may want to verify what you tell them.

Since most people don’t carry around a pay stub when they go shopping, if you decide to apply for a credit card during a shopping trip, the stores may look for a clue about your income when they ask for your credit score. Consumers now need to show proof of income when they apply for a card, and not many of us carry this around when we are shopping in the mall.
