How does an never used credit card report on your credit report?

laurence asked:


If I have a credit card that I do not use, how does this account reflect on my credit report? Does it show an open account in good standing?

    It shows an open account with a potential for debt. Depending on how high your limit is on this card, it could hurt your overall score.

    Best to charge a couple of things on it and keep a low balance. Pay it off completely a couple of times a year.

    Credit scoring is like voodoo.
