Hi All!
30% is a major threshold in individual account utilization. Best to be at 28% or less. Since it's a closed account, pay it off as fast as you can.
@SouthJamaica Thank you! Is there a reason you’re mentioning 28% instead of 29%...since it’s still under 30%? Is it because of rounding up?
Exactly.
