This appears to happen most frequently after you make a large payment to reduce your balance. This can hurt your credit score by making you have a larger portion of your available balance occupied. How can you avoid this potential credit score ding? Don't keep any balances of course.</p> <p><a href="http://www.creditmattersblog.com/2008/10/chasing-balance-what-it-is-and-why-it.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.creditmattersblog.com/2008/10/chasing-balance-what-it-is-and-why-it.html</a> </p>
