Let alone the only way I can increase my credit score is to exponentially increase my debt...
(I write ‘I’ as I’m writing in the first-person of experience. But it’s true of everyone)
That's not the way it works, at least if you consider debt to be long term. You increase your credit score by using credit and repaying it. If I pay my credit card off every month in full, then I can build up a credit score. No reason to carry debt or pay interest.
