Credit Repair For Free!

A new report from credit bureau Experian revealed that the average consumer had 1.97 bank cards and more than $4,200 in debt as of the end of 2010.

This former number has fallen nearly 23 percent from 2007, likely due to credit card issuers tightening their grip on card holders by cutting credit lines and forcing them to pay off more debt.

This has caused credit utilization to rise, with card holders using an average of 30 percent of their total available bank card limit, a near 10 percent jump since 2007.

And if you didn’t already know, credit utilization plays a huge role in determining our credit scores, including both the popular Fico score and the lesser known VantageScore credit score.

The second most important factor in scoring as far as Fico is concerned is amounts owed, just slightly less important than payment history (.

In fact, it makes up 30 percent of your Fico score – for VantageScore, this utilization accounts for 23 percent of scoring, while balances make up another 15 percent of your score.

So it’s pretty darn important to keep both utilization and balances low.

Maxine Sweet, vice president of public education at Experian, warned that consumers could potentially hurt their credit scores by carrying credit card balances and utilizing a significant portion of their available credit.

If you’ve found yourself in such a situation, consider either making a payment plan to pay off the credit card debt, or consider a balance transfer, which can it make it a whole lot easier to pay off the debt without being hit with pesky finance charges.
