How much more should I pay down?

My last credit score was 564 experian, 569 equifax . i paid cap one down to $441 from $900 ($1000limit) and I paid orchard down to 88 from $350 ($400 limit). I'm hoping for a nice little bump when they hit my credit report at the very end of this month or very early march. What do you think I should do? Pay some more before  due date? Orchard bank is actually due today and cap one due on the 28th


Starting Score: 520
Current Score: 627
Goal Score: 700

I'd pay the cap one down to 85 bucks and pay off the orchard.

If you can afford it, I'd definitely pay off Capital one - to show 9% or less utilization and pay Orchard in full.
