Question by Sara: Credit Score Help?
My score in Dec was 708

It dropped in January and February...to 579 on equifax (a bit higher in experian?)

In January I had opened 2 new credit cards and maxed them to almost 90%. Also I had a collection due...for 50$ .

In March I paid off much of my debt...and I now has say 7-8% on each card....total debt currently is around 750$

I also paid off the collection amount. (Was this a right move?)

I was hoping to see my score
