Can paying off your credit card balance in full every month hurt your credit?

Your credit report, credit rating and credit scores do not reflect any difference in paying the full amount on a credit card account or paying the minimum amount. What is tracked and recorded on your credit report is whether or not you pay the account ON TIME. It is a completely different factor to your "bottom line" in the amount of interest you pay. so consider all the facts before you decide how much to send in.
