Re: What Does this Mean?

I would read that to mean your payments are too small based on your current debt.

"ratio of payment to outstanding balance is too low?"

 

According to the above, the issue(ratio) is payment size vs the balance size.

I got the same thing a while back - since then, been paying down Smiley Happy 

My credit journey has completed. I am currently sitting at 800+ across the board.

I started my journey here years ago, and thanks to MyFico, it really is possible.
