$0 Credit Card Debt!

Finally paid off all my credit card debt! I had a good month designing websites that I had extra money to put towards paying off my debt.

 

Military Star Card $1,396.51 PAID

USAA mastercard Platinum $409.11 PAID

USAA Mastercard rewards $200.00 PAID

PenFed Visa $881.33 PAID

NFCU nRewards Visa $38.00 PAID

NFCU Mastercard $702.42 PAID

 

All of them are now $0.00 Balance, and I'm just waiting for the next billing cycle to show on the credit report. Though I did pull $2K out of my savings to do this, hopefully it  was worth it.

 

All I have left is a $10K business loan and a $25K personal loan left to pay. However I'm adding $600 to the monthly payment to save on interest. Smiley Very Happy

Re: $0 Credit Card Debt!

Congratulations!!!!!!

 

You should def see an increase in your scores, however you would see an even better increase if you left a small balance (5.00) on one of your credit cards to show some util. Most people see their max scores with util 9% and below (My best scores are when I have 1%-4% util) I would reccomend charging a cup of coffee or something on one of your CC's and let that small bal report, your scores will be higher with a 1% util rather than a 0% util.

 

Congrats again!!

UPDATE:

 

I called PenFed and asked if I can get a CL for my Visa from them which is only $2,500. They bumped it up to $10,000 no questions asked! They must have taken notice so quickly Smiley Happy!
