I'm aware of that. There is also a spot on the credit report that shows the highest balance the card or loan has had. If you are now at 0 balance but at some point in time you were maxed on a limit they can see that.


Oh yeah I see what you're saying. You're talking about the highest balance. That should be your highest statement balance. If your limit stays the same, they would be able to see that you maxed out your cards. That wouldn't affect your score but if someone looking at your report wanted to nitpick they could point out that your cards were maxed out at one time.

Yeah. I'm not sure if it shows the date of the highest balance. I seem to think that it does though. That could trigger alarms if cards were maxed out recently and all of a sudden at 0 balances to get a loan. Just theorizing, no proof.
