you should leave some balance on 1 or 2 cards.  I once paid everything off and my score went down. If you look at the plus and minus on your cr it will give you plus for using your credit.

Re: Leaving A Balance Does Work!!!

I'm planning on using my new cards, but not letting a balance report, except for the BofA card, which has a whopping big BT on it, if they ever post.

After everything gets up and running, I might let another one report, just to see what happens. Otherwise, the BofA will be the only CC out of 9 that reports. Unless DH gets frisky with the Discover, which is his card after all, lol.
