How to read this page

Credit cards are the most flexible part of the American debt picture, so they need a careful read. National balances show what cardholders already owe. The latest CFPB dollar figure shows credit limits on newly opened cards - access to credit - not spending that has already happened.

For credit cards, the new-dollar figure is not the same as new card debt. It reflects credit limits attached to newly opened cards, while the national balance shows what cardholders already owe.
