Re: Plan of attack for financing

You have enough revolving credit to keep gardening with to hopefully hit your target when you need it but as others said, your main goal should be getting you utility down. Good luck and keep us posted.

Re: Plan of attack for financing

I had 90% UTL and paid it to 9% a few years ago.

 

No baddies, AAoA of 6 years.

 

It added 80 points to my scores.

 

Good luck.  Pay down those cards as fast as you can.

Re: Plan of attack for financing

Congrats! That CLI will lower your overall utilization and may boost your score a bit more.
