Hi forum family!! I need some help with raising my score with TransUnion (674) and Experian (665). Who do you think I have a chance at getting a cc with. I only have one baddie on both CRs at the time. I plan to pay it off next month.. I just posted that my Equfax (690-I'm so exited) and I want these scores to catch up. I'm ready for all credit reports to read... 700+
Applying for a new card will temp ding your score. The baddie you are paying off, is that a PFD? Also, what is your util and AAOA?
Paying your cc's down will help your score. Are you getting a PFD?
Wait on any applications until you get your balances down and they report lower to the credit bureaus, IMO.

Currently my total uti is 48% for 2 TLs.. Discover - $54/300 limit and $436/700 limit. I will be paying these down next month as well.
Discover 300 cl, is that ones of those Matrix Discover?
You will need to pay one card to 0 and leave a 10 dollar balance in the other one. that will give you a 1% utility that maximize your FICO.
you will need to wait until both report this balance to the CRA. it is ussualy 3 or 4 days after your due date. EX reports it first then EQ a day later and TU 2 days later
