Trying to Garden but EQ simulator says my score will increase with cards--

Help!

 

I am desperately trying to get over 700 with EQ which has been my lowest of all of the CB.  I am at 687 with 18% util.  Whats holding my score down are:  1 Paid Judgement which is 4 years old next month.  Three medical collections- 2 paid 1 unpaid all 5 years old.  

 

I currently have AMEX PRG (opened August 2012), Discover (opened August 2012), Lowes (open April 2012), Orchard Bank (June 2011), Barclays (Oct 2011), and Rooms to Go.

 

Question:  What card to apply for that would take me-baddies and all?  Or, someone please  hand me some itch cream.

stop the itch your almost there

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

The simulator is a broken clock. Only use it for general scoring purposes. I wouldn't trust it on anything precise.

I wish it could simulate paying off an individual card.
