Credit Line Consolidation Impact on Fico Score

[shorttough]

My current Utilization is 66%. I applied for two credit cards and got a limit of 4000 and 8000.

Current Score: 660 myFico

Bank of America: 10000/10500  balance.

HSBC:  1900/2605  balance

Discover : 2100/2500 Balance

Now i'd like to bring all the cards under 50% Utiliztion by combining the two credit cards into one 4000+8000= 12000

Then, Balance transfer 10500/2 + (2605/2 - 1900) + (2500/2 - 2100)  into the 12000 credit card.

Would it hurt or improve my Fico score with the above scenrio.

Thanks in advance

Any time you gain more available credit, you are helping your score. So adding that $12,000 in available credit dropped your utilization. Just try not to max out a card above 80% utilization in an effort to do a transfer as that can also impact your score.
