Update...should I expect an increase or is it hopeless at this point?

Need your advice on which accounts I should pay off to help increase my score. Currently my EQ Fico score is 623. Any input is greatly appreciated. - I was able to GW two 30 day lates and that increased my score to 632. :smileyhappy:

 

Belk $544 / $1,300 limit - current balance $337 (already reported for the month)

Regions CC $388 / $1,000 limit - current balance $150 ( has not reported for the month)

Cap 1 (unsecured) $406 / $500 limit - current balance $38 / cli to $1K ( hasn't reported for the month) 

walmart $0 / $1,500 limit - reported

Macy's $0/ $1,500 limit- reported

Dillard's $0 / $300 limit - reported 

Firestone $0 / $ 1,600 limit- reported

Kohl's $0 / $1,000 limit - has not reported for the month 

 

installment loans

Regions $2,000 loan / Balance $1,300

Santander $793 / paying off today (hallelujah) - paid off and it dinged me 4 points :smileysad: current score is 628

 

Current utilization right now on my revolving accounts is 15%. What are my chances of seeing an increase? I should probably mention that I have two collection accounts, one is 6 months old and the other is two years old, both paid.  

 

Any idea how much my score will improve if I get my utilization down on some these revolving accounts? Thank in advance for your input/advice. Also, Walmart, Kohl's, Dillard's, and Regions have not reported for the month. That should help once they report, right?

Since util counts for 30% of your FICO score, I would expect a small increase in your score due to your recent payoffs.

The collections will of course hold you back a bit but low util always helps.
