You UTI is high. If altogether possible, UTI should be under 10%, preferably 1 account reporting UTI under 10% and the others reporting zero balances. Also, the late pays are killing your scores. You could always start a GW letter writing campaign to see if you could get them deleted. COs, lates, and collections prevent one from achieving credit goals. On the bright side, at least the lates from Santa Barbara will be off your reports in a few months.
Thanks KayKay65, I've been paying them down for sure! Slowly but surely. I had read about disputing the late pays that are over the 7 yrs. Not sure how much that will help.
I thought you could only do a GW letter for accounts that are still open?

I had a CO account that I did a GW letter on and was able to get it removed. As always with OC and CA, YMMV in regards to removals, but it is always worth a try.
