Question for you guys and gals that have been around these forums a while

My Father in Law has helped me work my way back from a Bk, he opened the AU accounts Listed below for me to use and rebuild  I controlled the accounts, made all charges and payments, and they all report limits and usage to all three CRA's. It has helped me a lot and I would like to have him close all the AU accounts but don't know if it will affect my scores, thats the last thing I want at this time. I also have some joint accounts with my wife and my own accounts as well, I would like to have a daily use card and a backup card in my pocket only so if you guys can look over my cards below and offer advice it be appropriated , It very hard to garden around this place but I'm going under for quite a while, wish me luck

As long as your util is down than closing out the cards shouldn't hurt you much.

I would possibly try to get your own American Express Revolving account and then you would for sure be set when he closes out the 2 your AU on.

I agree with CA. I would take a look at either the Blue cash or EveryDay cards depending on your rewards preference.
