A loan and LOC/CC operate differently. Installment versus revolving.

Afaik, the loan wont affect your util, but it will affect loan balances/loan amounts, and you current debt to income ratio.

Not entirely sure how those are judged though. Might be wrong myself.

I don't think a loan matters for utilization but a line of credit definitely will.
