Re: keeping accounts open

I think you are trying to say that you have been using a Debt Consolidation Company named In Charge.  You just  found out that any card which is paid off using this company, will be closed.   Even if you take over the payments... Then your interest rate could go up at the same time if you decide to open new accounts.  This in turn could affect your credit score.  Your credit score is 583 and you still owe 10,000 on 5 credit cards.

 

 My question is why did you decide to use a Debt Consolidation company?  These companies have bad reputations and are known for not paying the original debt.  Can you try to get out of your contract with them and settle with your creditors directly?
