Does having a number of credit cards, (even with no balance to pay) affect future [credit] decisions .... ?
Not necessarily. It depends on the size of your income, in relation to the number of cards you hold.
If you have kept within the terms & conditions, your credit card history is an advantage when it comes to obtaining further credit.... and available balances?
Yes. Even when the balance is zero, this will be viewed as available credit and may affect the credit limit you're offered.People who don't know their rights, don't actually have those rights.0 -
