Advice on best way to pay off credit card debts

I suggest that you pay these cards off as quickly as possible?in a single payment if you are able to do so. While making payments over the course of several months may increase your credit score, every month you carry a balance on these cards you are being charged interest. By paying the accounts off in a single payment, you can avoid paying this additional interest, which could add up to hundreds of dollars depending on the balance of your debt. Once you have paid off your debts, you can keep one or two of the cards open, make a few purchases each month, and then pay off the balances at the end of each month. By paying the accounts off every month, you will be able to obtain the credit benefits of creating a positive payment history without paying the excessive interest charged by many credit cards.

You should keep in mind that in addition to payment history, the amount of debt you have relative to your available credit is a key factor used in determining your credit score. Paying off your current debt will lower your debt-to-credit ratio, which should improve your credit rating. The delinquent accounts (the ones in consolidation) are likely pushing your score lower, so I encourage you to resolve those accounts as quickly as possible. If you cannot afford to pay off all of your credit cards at once, you should focus on paying off the delinquent accounts, then start paying off the remaining accounts as you can afford to do so. Once you have paid off the three current accounts, you can continue using them and paying them off each month to build your positive payment history, as mentioned above.

To learn more about credit, credit reports, and credit scoring, I encourage you to visit the Bills.com Credit Information page. In addition, since you want to purchase a home, I invite you to review the Bills.com Home Purchase page. If you submit your contact information in the Bills.com Savings Center, we can have several pre-screened lenders contact you to discuss the mortgage options available to you. By finding out the lenders? loan requirements, you can determine what credit rating you need to achieve and begin working toward your goal.

I wish you the best of luck in resolving your credit card debts and in your plans as a future homeowner.
