I made the mistake of accepting a Milestone CC.

About 18 months ago I was rebulding my credit and accepted a milestone cc with a 300 dollar limit, they charged me a large activation fee. I carried no balance on this thoughout the year and a few months ago I got a 99 dollar fee.

I want to cancel this card as they will not give me a cli.

If I cancel it with affect will it have on my score?

 

I will be paying off a student loan on the next month, bringing lonas from 4 loans to 2, as I paid off a student loan last month. remaining lonas are Student loan and auto.

 

I want to go for a new auto loan or lease as my car is used for 90% of business.

 

Should I close my account before I go for a new loan or after that?

 

Disregard the score in the signature, my current score is 664 and expect it to go up a few more points since my utilization will be 55%

Closing the card will not affect your credit score.  It will affect your wallet as you won't have to keep paying ridiculous fees for such a low limit card.

 

Close it now.

I would close the card without hesitation.   The fee's are not worth it.    I closed the Credit One card for the reasons of no grace period, no CLI without a fee and the $35 annual fee for a card I never use.
