I wish I could edit the topic title to include a question mark like this "Credit Utilization 0% bad for Credit Score?".

Did it for you.

I don't see a question mark

I can't quote and bold the title so you'll just have to look again.

It wouldn't explain why you had the same score at 0% and at 5%.
I didn't, just on myfico.com it was the same by 0%/5% not so on credit Karma where I had grade C by 0% and over 10%,
 and grade A by 1%/5%

You can 'Report to moderator' and request it.

He did it for all future responses (from his 'FTFY' post) that are replied to.

Now I'm completely confused about what you've been saying.

credit Karma grades you the same by 0% util as by over 10% util, while fico.com grades you the same from 0% upto 5%util
 still not clear?

Someone mentioned to me that its best to keep a $1 balance each month, so as to have a low utilization ratio. Any validity to this?

Just bumped into this thread.
A minor question: is Saver2000 a moderator?
Love me or hate me. I still love you.
