    As in what way? They'll effect it in the way of available credit if you use it or not.

    Not by much it all depends on you overall credit available to credit used. If you have a high percentage of credit being user then that's a slight negative.

    But I applied for a credit card when my overdraft of £1500 was mostly used and I got accepted.
