You are fine. It might actually help to show a small balance.

I guess it would also depend on credit line. $13 on a $25,000 limit card could be rounded down to 0% utilization.

People on the forum seem to like the 1% utilization on one card.

It will fine for FICO score calculations. I've left  $5 on a $25,000 limit card and FICO score calculation sees it. I think for FICO score it rounds utilization up, rather than down. So $13 on a 25k line will round up to 1%.

Has not for me even at $1 balance but I've read that some lenders will round that to $0 which would suck, and $2 or so minimum to be safe across the board for those testing the lender or two in question.

 

You'll be fine in my and other's experience.

6K is nowhere close to the tradeline discounting level, which is somewhere around 35K or more on the assumption it's still there (think so but I'm misremembering some of cashnocredit's posts now).  13/6K, no big deal.
