UTIL -- Much difference between 10% and 2% range?

Hi Friends,  

 

Perhaos this would vary from profile to profile, however I was wondering if in generally there would be much of a score difference between UTIL of say 8% to 9%, vs. haivng it down in the 1% to 2% range?  I am just wondering if pretty much anything below 10% would be in the same bucket, or if getting it real low (not 0%) could be even more of an advantage?

 

Thanks!

 

 

Year 2012: All Scores in the 520 range, during a foreclosure, CC Settlement and high UTIL. Very ugly days...
Sept 2024: EX8: 847; EQ8: 850; TU8: 848 -- Middle Mortgage Score: 821
In My Wallet: Discover $73.7K; Cap1 Venture $51.7K; Amex ED $38K; Amex Optima $2.5K; Amex Delta Gold $18K; Citi Costco $24.5K; Cap1 Plat $8.4K; Barclay $7K; Chase Amazon $6K; BoA Plat $21.6K; Citi TY Pref $22K; US Bank $4K; Dell $5K; Care Credit $6.5K. Total Revolving CL: $300K+
My UTIL: Less than 1% - Only allow about $20 a month to report, on one account. .

Various threads around here say that the answer varies with the individual, so it's good to experiment.
