Cashplus usage?

Hi

I got Cashplus with CreditBuilder in October 2013 - I added £100 so they take £5 every month off it (balance decreasing).

Fortunately, it is being reported on Noddle so all is good but I don't use the card for anything - is this a bad thing?

I notice on Noddle:
- "Regular Payment - £5"
- "Opening Balance - £54"

Does it matter or would I be better off actively using the card and pay off every month of more than £5?

Thanks!:)

    Using this card won't change what is entered on your credit file. It is only the fee loan part of the card that is a credit facility and so all that will be reported.

    thanks so much for your reply. So I guess there is no difference whether I use the card or not. :)
