RENT / OWN / OTHER ???

RENT / OWN / OTHER

Could anyone explain which answer looks best in the eyes of the CCC? And why?

I could technically fit into any of the categories.

I think owning a house would look better to a CCC 'cause if you default and never pay they see that you have an asset they could possibly put a lien on and get their money back.  If you rent you don't have an asset.  And other...well that could possibly mean anything from live at home with mom (which I'm doing at the moment) to sleeping on someone's couch.  I don't see how this would grant/deny you credit if you have a decent FICO.

They can't lien a house unless you put the house up for the debt. Credit cards are unsecured debt.

I don't think it matters unless they ask how much you pay, then it will calculate into your income vs debt.
