Re: paying credit cards off

You are effectively maxed out. Paying down $5k is not going to improve your score. Do as JSS3 suggests.

Starting with 5,000

 

(-)

 

482.00     Credit 1 
879.00     Credit 1 
457.00     Walmart 
2,850.00   Chase 


= 332 left

 

Put that 332 on another card(s).

 

You're now saving  328/month

Tackle, by putting down that extra 328 on, 2,220.00(Chase) or 2,742.00(Menards) next.

 

-OR-

 

when you find out the APRs, put the extra towards the cards with the highest ones so more goes towards the principle.

 

Rinse, wash, repeat.
