I know that when you have a balance that is over half your credit limit, it hurts your score. Question is, let’s say I have 3 cards that have a 10,000 limit and I have no balance on two, but 8,000 on one, will this hurt? Does credit constitute all available credit, so 8,000 out of 30,000 is OK and my credit will not suffer? I never understood the details. Thanks for the help.
