When I applied for my mortgage my rating was perfect except that one line that read "too many open credit accounts in the passed 6 months".
This lowered my score 10 points from what it should have been.
NOT a big deal as long as they are all paid in full and never late.

Carrying a balance hurts you more than anything. Pay them off.

you cannot prove it to him as he likes having them. That is his peace of mind. Now you can cut up and pay off the smallest with out his knowledge and just leave them open with zero balances and that will improve your scores. and work your way up the ladder with them.But no you don't need 10 cards lets say any more than you need 10 heads on your shoulders.
I am a mortgage banker in TN & KY

There is good debt and bad debt, so as long as you are not going over 50% of the limits and paying them on time you are in good debt and improves your score no matter how many credit cards you have.
Never close good credit card that have no fees, and always keep the oldest one open which keeps the history high.

Your FICO or credit score is based on a number of different things.

You have quite a few credit cards. The more credit cards that have a balance, the lower your credit score could be- based also on a number of differerent factors such as time the account has been open, and if there have been any late payments.

Some lenders will also figure that just becasue you have a $1,000 balance on your card, but have an available balance of say $10,000, they just figure that at some point it will be at $10,000 and that would be taken into account for your Debt to Income ration.

Every time a creditor checks your credit, it hurts your score. When you have so many different creditors checking your credit constantly, it counts against you.

Get all the credit card statements, add up the interest being paid on all of them, then show it to your husband. If he/you were to use a debit card from the bank, there is no interest as you are using your own money. Each time a credit card is used, it is like getting a mini-loan from the card company. That is why interest is charged. No matter how many cards one has, by keeping them near the credit limit also hurts your credit score. Pay the minimum while you are building up your bank account, get a debit card and save some money.

He'll find out just how much this hurts if you're ever late paying on one of those many cards. If this happens, all of the remaining creditors may increase the interest rates on their cards even if you were not late with them specifically.

This is legal and believe me, more and more companies keep tabs on how their customers pay their bills.

Also, you may want to consider credit score monitoring service that shows from month to month what your credit is at any given time. Usually these score reports will make suggestions on how to best improve your credit score.

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. How many is "too many"?

If your from england you can go onto a company called EXPERION, you can access your credit score and it will show where you've had points deducted.
I tell you this because whenever you open a new credit card/store card/any type of credit, then the company does a check which puts a little dent in your credit!
