About half of all consumers carry a balance of $1000 or less on their credit cards.
About 10 percent of consumers habitually carry balances of more than $10,000 on their credit cards
The total credit limit on all credit cards held by the average consumer is $12,000
About half of all consumers use less than 30% of their credit card limits
Those aged 70 or older use credit cards the least, around 13%

Dept Situation
