I'd be paying off some cards and then close the Credit Bum (One) and Worst (First) Premier cards.

That is already in the works, I could pay off all cards in a month or two if I didnt put money anywhere else but the simulator on experian said it would only bump it up to a 620-630 range

Hello and welcome.

 

You have a duplicate thread that I put in Business Credit because you mentioned "so I can run my business off of 1 card not 7 that I have now".

 

Cross posting is highly discouraged but allowances are made for new posters.

 

Which of the two threads would you like to keep?

Re: Silly mistakes from a newbie

No more inquiries lol. And the credit simulators usually suck. I had a utilization of about 65% a few months ago. When I ran the simulator on CK, CS, and Cap One, all told me that paying it down by approximately half would result in an increase of 5-20 points. In actuality, when I paid down to 30% over two months, my credit scores jumped 50-60 points.
