Will closing a credit card account affect my credit score?

ANSWERS: 1

Official Know-It-All

Closing a zero-balance credit card account can negatively impact a credit score. This is because a credit score is based in part on the debt to available credit ratio. Therefore, when a zero-balance card is closed, the debt-to-credit ratio increases, resulting in a lower credit score.
