Halifax mortgage application process

I’m just looking for abit of advice from anyone in a similar situation.
im a ftb hopefully purchasing a shared equity property 50% share.
I had my AIP and then my Halifax mortgage application was submitted yesterday, I’ve had two hard checks and one soft affordability check.
my credit rating has a satisfied default from 5 years ago it’s due to drop of in May 2021, apart from that everything on my credit file is fine up until this week my credit score dropped by 10 points because I used £13 on my credit card which Is paid off (I was trying to build my credit score) however it’s now saying my hystotic balances are 1400% more than what they were 3 months ago.
the other score is green and showing me as using 1% of my credit utilisation does anyone have any advice with regards to this? Will it ruin my chances of getting the mortgage?

No. Lenders don’t see the scores, ratings or (incorrect) utilisation percentages.1
