One is due on 5/3/13 and the other on 5/5/13. I have read here that it is helpful to carry a small balance before or on the statement date that will help raise score. So my question is ......should I charge a small amount on one card before the due date, or just keep things as they are?</P> Tue, 30 Apr 2013 00:59:14 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/To-charge-or-not-to-charge/m-p/2104639#M265441 doc101 2013-04-30T00:59:14Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/To-charge-or-not-to-charge/m-p/2105191#M265478 <P>Are you planning to app for new credit in the next 30 days? If not - then there's no need to specifically make a purchase. Unless you just feel like experimenting to see what the results might do to your scores.</P> Tue, 30 Apr 2013 05:43:47 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/To-charge-or-not-to-charge/m-p/2105191#M265478 InvincibleSummer3 2013-04-30T05:43:47Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/To-charge-or-not-to-charge/m-p/2107361#M265763 <P>Not planning to app for anything for awhile</P> Wed, 01 May 2013 01:03:55 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/To-charge-or-not-to-charge/m-p/2107361#M265763 doc101 2013-05-01T01:03:55Z
