Yes, I had some derogatory things on my CR, but I spent the summer paying them off, and had many of them removed. My credit cards have all been paid down, they were at about 50% utilization before paying them off. The fico stimulator showed an increase of 70-100 points if I paid them all down to 0 balance. The only debt that is owed now, will be a car payment. There is also 2 medical bills that did not get paid from when I was in an accident. Otherwise there is no other debt. I have about $5,000 total available in revolving credit, after paying over $2k off.
