Analyzing credit scores and card balances

According to a study by VantageScore® Solutions LLC, consumers with credit scores between 601 and 650 carry the largest credit card bills, at more than $10,000 — nearly 2x that of the average consumer. Other key findings include:

  • Those with the highest scores have the largest total credit limit ($46,735), compared with just $2,816 for those with the lowest scores.
  • The average credit card holder has $29,197 in credit lines, with an average balance of $5,720.
  • Those with scores between 701 and 750 use an average of 27% of their available credit versus 47% for those with scores between 651 and 700.

The study reinforces the importance of staying current on the latest credit trends to best identify areas of opportunity and adjust lending strategies accordingly.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
