The Right Time To Pay Off Your Credit Card Balances

from The Credit Pros Podcast · host The Credit Pros

This includes total debt, account numbers with balances, and revolving utilization. Revolving utilization, the ratio of credit card balances to limits, should be low. Balances are reported monthly, not daily, to credit bureaus. Timing payments can maximize credit scores, as explained by credit expert Jason M. Kaplan.
