This is not true. You can maintain a high credit score with zero debt. It will not be the highest, but high enough to obtain a loan.
Mine is 830, and I haven’t owed anyone a dime in over a decade now. I don’t really give a chit if anyone will loan me money, but I expect they would.

That cant be true.... without using credit your score would go to zero. You must have a mortgage or use a credit card that you pay off every month or something.
