Default Re: Impact on Credit Report: High Balance vs. Limit

There's some confusion here about what affects the credit score, and what affects a potential lender's analysis of your credit.

The high balance does not affect the FICO credit score. The debt to income ratio does not affect the FICO credit score because income isn't even part of the mix. However, these two factors may be considered by lenders who are reviewing your loan application.
