Helping your score

You've limited the use of your available credit

Ratio of your revolving balances to your credit limits
1%For FICO High Achievers [?], this ratio is 7%, on average.

Should I increase my util to 7%?



Shoot, no. Keep it way under that.

What does it say over on the other side, with the negative comments? Those are the categories to go after.

Note to all readers: there are some things that you just can't fix, or you can fix them only so far. If you have these, it's just a question of keep on, keepin' on, and don't make any more mistakes. Smiley Wink
