So I was going to close my FP today. When I called, the rep told me that I had already paid my AF and that there is no monthly charge to keep it open until after the one year mark. So she said I should keep it open, even if I'm not using it, just so that it reports to all the bureaus....and then close it before July(the one year mark). Would this benefit me at all as far as it being reported to the CA's? I won't be using it at all since I have my Discover and Cap1 now...so it'll just sit there. But I guess what she was saying is that it doesn't matter if I don't use it, and that even if it's open and being reported with a zero balance it'll still help my credit.
Any thoughts?
If there's no fees associated with the card, run some inute purchases through it and pay them after they post, this should build some good payment history. You opened it to build credit ? then build credit
lol. yes I did open it to build credit! I now have my other 3 cards to build credit with as well lol. I just heard that FP technically "looks bad" if it's even on your report so that's why I was going to close it. But if it's not harming me in any way, I guess i'll keep it open a while longer if it'll build me some more credit.
