Re: CC help
I dont think so, or you can just cut them up and slowly pay them off

Don't cancel your cards. Just cut them up and pay them off. I believe it can hurt your credit if you start cancelling all your cards.
I have wanted to not use a credit card, and I just cut up the card, and don't use it.
If they see you getting rid of credit, they wonder why, and it will do more harm than good.

This is so true!! Don't do it. Unless it's a card you recently opened.

This is definitely true! I've heard that part of your credit score comes from the ratio between your debt and revolving credit. It's better to have more revolving credit... so leave those cards open, but just cut them up so you won't use them. Also, I've heard that even if you have the money to pay them off all at once, it is better for your credit if you spread the payments out over a few months.
