Re: Credit one

according to what I read on this forum, it will still report for 10 years after closing the account, so I think it's safe to say go ahead and close it.

Re: Credit one

close it as long as it wont hurt your utilization, it will show as closed by consumer and remain on your report for upto 10 yrs- it can drop off before but usually stays for long time

Re: Credit one

Jeez that does not even make sense.  If you have had it for a year, just close it.  I am sure the utilization will not matter sine they hand out small limits anyways.

Re: Credit one

Need a little more info.

 

What are your other accounts and account limits? When were they opened?

 

What is your Credit One limit? When was it opened?

 

Why do you have a 500 score on one bureau and 600's on the others?

 

It may not be wise to do anything yet until your scores go up. That score in the 500's is concerning unless you are waiting for some changes to update.

Re: Credit one

I have 24 credit cards on all. My oldest was opened 5 years ago. All are most recent as within the past 12 months. I opened credit one 12 months ago. I don't know why my credit scores are not all in the 600's probably because there are different ways that my collection accounts are reporting. I have a total of 18k in revolving debt and I am currently at 20 percent utilization.

That tiny CreditOne card will hardly put a dent in your utilization then. Close it and don't look back.
