Mastering Credit Cards: Making Them Work For You

from The Credit Pros Podcast · host The Credit Pros

High debt indicates risk to lenders, affecting 30% of FICO scores through the 'Amounts Owed' category. Revolving utilization ratio, the balance-to-limit percentage, should be low to protect scores.
