I know that I will/should see quite a jump by paying down the credit cards (leave one around 8-9% and completely pay off the other 2)
Assuming all of my bills are paid on time, and no new collections are added, anyone want to take a stab at when my scores would be over 620?
Now I know there is NO way of telling, or even guessing really, but would you think it'd be more like 6 months, 12 months, 2 years?

Hey harmstrong,
Welcome!
Congrats on pulling your real FICO scores from this site. Now you get to play with the goodies - including the "FICOSimulator" and the "Best Action" doohicky.
These are both included in a standard FICO score pull for both Equifax and TU. I think they're under the last tab titled "What Next?"
What is it showing your score would be in 6 months with your paydown? And for that matter, 12 months or 2 years?
That's a darn handy tool because it's specific to your account information.
