Your credit score helps determine how much money you can borrow and the interest rate you will pay. It is important to keep a good credit score. To help with this don’t go over your credit limit and try to use less than 35% of your available credit. It’s better to have a higher credit limit and use less of it each month.
For example, if your available credit is $15,000, try not to borrow more than $5,250 at a time, which is 35% of $15,000.
If you use a lot of your available credit, lenders see you as a greater risk. This is true even if you pay your balance in full by the due date.
