Re: newbie help

Is that 610 score a real FICO score or some other scoring model? If not FICO, you can signup (7 day trial) for CreditCheckTotal for $1 to get FICO8  scores from all three credir bureaus. What negative accounts are listed on yoru reports and how long ago did the negatives happen for each? Do you have any open revolving accounts in good standing reporting on your reports?

The late payments will lessen impact on scores as they age over 2 years. The high balances can be a huge drag on scores as well.

 

You should get a third card in order to be able to maximize your UTI.
