The number one thing to improve your Fico score would be to pay down your cc utilization way below 10%.Learn the azeo method.As the co's age it will have less effect on your credit score,but for as long as co's are they present on your cr it will effect your credit score drastically.If you pay down installment loans keep one installment loan open and paid down way below 10% before mortgage app will help your credit score.Use whatever active cc's and installment loans to build a history or monthly on time payments.In the future you will want three cc's,keep your oldest cc open and only apply for whatever credit accounts you actually need.GOOD LUCK...

Need help on what to pay to increase mortgage scores
Wife and I have lower scores
Charge offs cc hurting utilization Please list the accounts and amount.
Student loans Any lates and how much owed
Active cc How many active cards and who are they with
We can pay off all active cc in 4 months If they're in good standing. Pay them after the chargeoffs and get to AZEO.
But will have about 8k in charge offs Better to pay charge offs first so they stop reporting a balance. Then they'll report paid off.
I have budget to pay off all auto loans and all but one student loan but if we do that by years end, the CO will remain Pay off one auto. Pay the other one down to less than 8.99% and keep it open for best scoring.
Should we pay off CO to help utilization and keep a student loan or two for best mortgage loan increases ?

With all due respect. A small correction. The threshold is 8.99%. Not 10%. DP's show FICO likes 2-4% range. And no apps or HP's for CLI's for a year or more before applying for a mortgage.
With all due respect,Thats why I said way below 10% and not 10%.
