It may take up to 60 days to see the change, depending on when the creditors update.





You want to make sure that overall and each account are not carrying balances of more than 30% of the limit. All individual accounts being the same, pay off the highest interest rate card first -- you save interest that way.





You might even consider paying off all those credit card balances. Beside your credit scores, your debt to income ratio is a big factor.
Split the cards and try to get them both down to 30% of the credit line. Should work as that one high balance will not help your score
