Mind a brief explanation of debt utilization?



Not an expert, but my interpretation is that if you owe $5K on a $15K loan, and say you owe an additional $20K in other debts on original credit lines of $40K:

Previous debt: $25K of $55K credit (45.5%)
Current debt: $20K of $40K credit (50%)

You reduced your denominator by proportionally more than what you owed. Someone tell me if that's wrong.
