So I have two 30D lates reporting in Januray 2009 that after this months reporting will be pushed passed the 24 month mark. Should I see an increase in my score due to the aging of these lates? My midscore is with EQ at a 681 and the closer I can get to 700 (a guideline score for a loan I'm after) the better... Also, I have a Chase card the I have a balance on of $477 ($1200 limit). The due date for payment is March 1st but I only have $300 I can pay on it until March 3rd whicch is when I can PIF. Does Chase, or any other CC, report to the CRA's the balance shown when the statement was cut or the balance owed the day of reporting? Basically I'm wondering if they'll report the balance of $177 that will most likely be on the statement or the $0 balance which will be 2 days after payment is due...?
