I've got 2 credit cards that are maxxed out at this time, but working casual it wasn't a problem for the bank to give me the cards to use but when I apply for debt consolidation then all these factors form and I'm told no go.
Another mistake I made, (which I should've known better) was that I applied for a number of online personal loan applications not realizing it would take the toll on my credit file history.
I'm going to close off one of the credit cards in early jan. (1500$) and the other one (4500$) will just be able to put 1500 and then ask to lower the limit.
My question is if I just pay off the card in one go (1500$) and haven't been keeping up with the normal monthly payments , will that show bad on my history?
I just want the cards gone... so pay off in one go, close card off .. will that be a bad idea and would it affect my prospects in applying for a loan in the future?
Cheers
oh and any other advice you want to offer to a troubled CC user.
Thanks :)
