Wouldn't you say that the jury is still out with regards to spreading your debt out among several cards as opposed to just one or two. I find other sources who say - if you have five credit cards and all of them have a balance, your credit score is impacted negatively. The rationale, I guess, is that having three of your cards with a zero balance is good for Fair Isaac & Company's scoring model. What do? you think?
