think it will help by 10 pts? I guess I won't know until my next report....


No one can know for sure but if your utilization is reduced by quite a bit you should see a nice bump. Let us know how it works out.

I'd say that there's a good chance, because these are your top two negatives. The higher up the list the negative is, the more points it's costing you.

Just wanted to update you guys. My scores just refreshed and after paying off all my credit card debt, my mid score is now 766!   I just locked in my rate at 4.25% and am closing next week!! Thanks everyone.

My rate from 4 months ago is 5.25%.  My new ratew would be 4.375%.  This equates to a savings of about $300 for me a month (520K mortgage, superconforming loan in CA).  After closing costs of about $2700, I'll recover my costs in about 9 months and save about $3600 a year afterwards.  These are real tangible savings as you can see.


 

... and I think you said that you were starting from 730, right?

 

So you even beat the 4.375%!

 

w00t!  Smiley Very Happy Many congrats.
