Probably. Especially if it spookes other lenders who start taking "pre-emptive" action against their risks.

depends on your credit profile,  3 months with a Credit one card, and a 550 fico,  Credit one will love you,

but if you have only 1-3 months experience with the prime card/lender they may get worried, and CLD if it doesn't get resolved in a couple of months, they don't care if it reports that way, only freaks like us strive to pay the card off before the statement cuts. Just pay way over minimum payment, and more than you are spending on the card in the future and you will be fine.

Your scores will take a hit for sure.

I transferred a balance to a card past 50% util and had a score decrease, so I can imagine that a 100% util will have a greater effect

I'll be paying it off 100% in a month.. will this still be a problem?

Re: 100% util on one card

I really don't think it will be a problem if it's paid off in one month and you don't plan on applying for anything else. As others have said be prepared to take a hit to your score.

Re: 100% util on one card

If your balance is not paid down before the statement cut date it will show this high balance on your credit report. Should you need a manual review of your credit in the future
