Re: Approved but awful interest rate help!

Not an expert in refi's at all but 6-12 months out would be good, establish some good installment loan history, I see you have 14 revolving tradelines, maybe SD the least used ones, work diligently on growing a couple of the other ones to pad utilization (just paid down 70% of my balances and my scores increased 35 points overnight). Getting your scores in the 675 area will qualify you for DCU best rate- 1.99%.... If you really wanted to you could probably refi in 3 months at a local CU at 4-6% and save on interest right away!

Scores 5/1/15: EX 746 TU 743 EQ 746
