Utilization Drop - What Kind of Increase to Expect?

Hi

My wife's revolving credit utilization is currently at 119% (!).  This is mostly due to closed credit card accounts with balances.

 

If we pay off all of the closed accounts, her utilization would drop to 63%.  She's currently at about a 660 score at the 3 CRAs.

 

What kind of score increase would you expect?

 

Thank you in advance

You need to provide a lot more details to get anything remotely resembling an answer to that including all card before/after balances and limits, AAoA, baddies (if any) etc.

BTW I am very surprised her score is 660 with 119% util.  What scoring system you using and did the score show the 119 util?
