They charge up to the credit limit, never make any payments, and you are none to the wiser until you are declined for credit and decide to look at your credit report. Don’t let this happen to you.
The way to avoid this is to check your credit report on a weekly basis or a biweekly basis .That way if there are any credit checks, new credit cards issued, or anything of that nature you will know immediately.
