GEMB/Care Credit

I received some dental care a year ago, and they recomended I apply for the Care Credit card. I applied, and was approved for a $800 CL. Short of the stor, my dental insurance(s) paid well, and I didn't need to use it.

 

Well today I received in the mail a letter that they were closing my account for non use. My question, will this affect my credit score?

 

THANKS in advance!!



Starting Score: 675
Current Score: FICO- 798 (02/21/18)
Goal Score: 800+ All Three

It will affect your overall Util. which will affect your credit score. You lose that $800 in the equation.

Re: GEMB/Care Credit

I figured that as much. I am at 10% UTI, so probably not much.
