Thanks to Everyone! First Step...

Thank you to everyone who has responded to my posts!  We took an important first step in rebuilding a good credit line by paying off about 1/3 of our revolving debt by selling some things.  But, it was a BIG chunk in terms of interest rates (18% to 25% - all BofA) compared to the rest of our lines (all less than 10%).  We still have a long way to go, and I still need to find work, but it feels good to take a big first step toward financial freedom.

 

Anyone have an idea of how long the paydown will take to show up on a report?

CCCs typically report the balance you have on your statement and will report that balance around your statement date.

I just got a fico alert for a balance increase on my credit card yesterday.  The statment was from the end of May, so it can be a 30 day lag from your statement date for some cards (this one was Chase).
