If you could guess.

So I have about 10 credit cards 6 being maxed out the other 4 with an average untilization of 70%. Well I just paid them all off with some extra cash I came by so now I have a 2% utilization. What do you think my score of 635 will go up to?

A lot. Certainly over 700, assuming no negatives.

Then I guess 720 average.

Re: If you could guess.

Where are you getting your 635 score from? 

 

If it's a FICO 8 score, it will go up considerably.  While you didn't quantify it exactly, it sounds like your overall utilization is probably in the 80%-90% range.  Is that correct?

 

If that's the case, I'd guess that you stand to gain 80 points or so on your FICO 8 score.  If you're at > 90% utilization, the paydown to 2% would probably result in you coming in at closer to a 100 point gain.

 

Nice work and congratulations on the paydown, BTW.  That's a great accomplishment.
