Too many cards with balances. I had to smile, but I didnt argue. My balances are less than $100, PIF each month except for the one card I used for Christmas...and that one is 0% interest...which is why I used it. Out of about 13 credit accounts I carry maybe 4% utilization right now (including Christmas!)
