You have way to many current open revolvers reporting a balance you want one only and a small amount of no more than 9% of its CL looks like you are going to get some reporting 0 and thats good.

I second this. Paying down your revolvers will help tremendously. I paid off my CC from 24% to 2-4% and my scores jumped at least 10-15 points.
Also have at least one reporting under 10%. They say having 8.9% is the sweet spot. They being the super more-knowledgeable-than-me-people-who-collect-data people on this board.
Good of luck and make sure to scour the boards. There is a wealth of knowledge here!!!
