On a related note, do not be surprised if some of your current creditors balance chase you. If you've been at 100% util for a year, that is a very real possibility.


It's always hard to say. I had a Chase card (~10k CL) that was at 95%+ for years, I BT'ed the balance away from it and they gave me an unrequested 3k CLI when the balance was zero.
