Truck loan about 20 grand that I refinanced last year to lower my interest all three agencies roughly have it 10 year oldest account and five-year average.

My brain hurts.  Seperate some of those sentences please.  

 

I think the high UT advice might have been mistaken.  Some companies like you to use the crap out of thier cards and pay them off consistently.  HOWEVER, never leave a high balance on your cards before the statement cut date.  Last month I put roughtly $3000 on two $500 cards and when the statement came out I had $0 on one and $5 on the other.

 

How many credit cards do you have?  3 is the apparently the magic number to maximize credit gain.  To get to 700 you will need to get those collections paid and hopefully removed from your report and to GW thsoe baddies off your report.  The more negatives you can get off, and the lower your UT becomes the higher your score will go.
