The holiday’s are here! Credit cards can make shopping easy during this time. Especially with all the 0% interest offers that are out there right now! Tempting! It might seem like they give you an endless amount of money to spend, but it’s important to remember that credit cards come with credit limits. And how close you come to reaching that limit has an effect on your credit score.
Your debt-to-credit ratio and how much debt you carry together make up 30% of your FICO score. This means that you might want to steer clear of your credit limits. It’s best to have as LOW a credit utilization ratio as
possible. In short, a high debt-to-credit ratio can drive down your credit
score. “Naughty, naughty!”
To stay off the “naughty list,” ideally you want to keep your
debt-to-credit ratio 0% to 10%! Example if your cards limit is $4000 you
want to make sure the balance on the card is $400 or less. A low
debt-to-credit ratio is an important part of maintaining a strong credit
score! Jingle all the way!
