Current Utl reported is 109%
When my settlements after reported I'll only have one cc account with a bal $124.(will be lower by then but for calculation sake let's keep it)
I'll go from $2024 in CO debt to$0
I used to be a wiz a calculations of this kind but since my head injury not so much.
Can someone help me work out my new utilization?
Can anyone estimate what bump I might see?
I also have a car loan current bal $7927 2 years never late. Current Experian FICO 558 TU 554
I get $124/$1000 or 12.4%. If you could get that balance down to $89 you'd be all set as far as utilization goes.
Hopefully the experts chime in with score bump estimates.
Will you have charge offs or lates still reporting on your file?
Congrats on getting these paid down and cleared from your file.
Yes, Capital One and BOA are refusing to budge so Im focusing on Utilization, and keeping up on time payments. The simulate says I can gain quite a few points, but since simulators arent great i wanted some real world advice.
If you're going from maxed out utilization down to 12% utilization or so, you'd easily be looking at a score gain of 50-100 points depending on your profile. You'd be crossing 4 thresholds on both aggregate utilization and highest individual card utilization, as well as going to a lesser number of cards with balances. All of these factors combined would yield a significant score gain.
