If you carry a high balance in relation to the total credit limit, yes you will hurt your score.

Paying the minimum doesn't in itself lower your score. As long as you pay on time.

If you have a $10,000 limit, but carry a $500 balance and pay the minimum $25 payment, you will be fine.

but if you have a $10,000 limit, and charge $3000 per month and pay the minimum, you will hurt your score.

Just depends on how much you carry.

Thanks, I have 3k outstanding against total credit limit of 22k. My credit scores have run in high 700s and lower 800s for some time.
