Do you have at least 2 years of payment history on Credit One?
It was/is my second oldest card, and I really hated paying them almost 15 bucks a month just to have the account. I waited until I had at least two years of payment history reported and pulled the plug in February. Nowadays, they have even higher administrative charges and interest from Day One on purchases. I am glad I dumped it.
It did its job, and it was time to retire it.
If you are over 700, maybe it is time to drop them. Everyone seems to agree that positive history will stay for 10 years.
I've had it almost 3yrs!? The other two slightly less time, maybe by 5 or 6 months. Dumping the card now would send my Debt to Credit soaring back up, It's only an 800 limit but my total is only 4200 to begin with. As for waiting for the balances to post, they always post something, with the way the card charges the fee then updates my account always reports $7 even if I PIF.
I am a member of my local credit union, and my current auto loan is through them. CU's are the best! Wish I would have never closed down my first savings/checking accounts from highschool though, lived in Fairfax VA and they was with PenFed!?!? Had I only known this stuff a decade ago.
It's time to say bye bye to Credit One. $84 a year AF plus $8.95 to make a payment? You need to think long term as another poster mentioned. Dump this card and never give it a second thought. You might take a small, temporary hit if your utilization goes up but if you are not looking to apply for any new credit you will recover quickly enough.
Just my humble 2 cents.
