Have you had high cc usage for a planned expense that lowered your FICO scores?

In a week or so I am initiating some home improvements and repairs. I know the charges to my cc will be way over the ideal limit until I pay it(them) down, but I now have zero interest on several cards so now is the time to do it. Has someone done this and seen their credit scores sink to the bottom of the barrel? I am thinking I should just not look at scores while I am doing these necessary things and just continue paying down the balances until my credit scores recover. How badly did your credit take a hit if you have done this? Was it worth it to you? (I only just got these scores in the last weeks due to utilization and new accounts.) Oh, and what is considered 100% usage? How close to the limit can I go? Thank you for any responses. In my wallet: Venture 15k; Barclay Ring 12.5k; Discover 10k; CareCredit 7.7k; Amazon Store Card 5k. QS 5k; Band of A Travel Rewards 3.5k; Bank of A Travel Rewards 3.5k; Bank of A Platinum Visa 2k; Barclay Apple Rewards 2k. Total Credit: 66,200. 7/2-FICO: EQ - 788; TU - 777; EX - 690; Utilization: 12%; GOAL: 780 across the board then 800 across the board. Inquiries: EQ: 5 TU: 7; EX 3; Chapter 13 seven years May, 2015. Reset my garden date to 6/27. Gardening until further notice.

Utilization is balance/limit.  If the balance equals the limit it's 100%. Musiclover wrote:
How close to the limit can I go?Depending on the card you may be able to exceed the limit.  However, such cards would require that you immediately pay any balance exceeding the limit.  For scoring purposes it is recommended to not exceed 30%.  However, short term high utilization generally isn't an issue.  It's prolonged high utilization that can get you into trouble.  Be aware that there is a double hit from having high utilization on a card and having itmaxed out (generally >90%). Musiclover wrote:

  • High cpu usage for garbage collection (uptime vs total gc time)

    Hi Team,
    We have a very high cpu usage issue in the production.
    When we restart the server, the cpu idle time would be around 95% and it comes down as days goes by. Today idle cpu is 30% and it is just 6th day after the server restart.
    Environemnt details:
    Jrockit version:
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-b04)

    Can you guys please tell me what would be problem in the server which causing the high cpu usage?
    One more thing I would like to know is that why the total number of threads is 198 when we specified the Executor pool size as 25? I agree that weblogic would create some threads for its maintenance but around 160 threads!!! something is wrong I guess.

    Hi,
    I'm having a similar problem, but haven't been able to resolve it yet. Troubleshooting is made even harder by the fact that this is only happening on our production server, and I've been unable to reproduce it in the lab.
    I'll post whatever findings I have and hopefully we'll be able to find a solution with the help of BEA engineers.
    In my case, I have a stand-alone Tomcat server that runs fine for about 1-2 days, and then the JVM suddenly starts using more CPU, and as a result, the server load shoots up (normal CPU utilization is ~5% but eventually goes up to ~95%; load goes from 0.1 to 4+).
    What I have found so far is that this corresponds to increased GC activity.
    Let me list my environment specs before I proceed, though:
    CPU: Dual Xeon 3.06GHz
    RAM: 2GB
    OS: RHEL4.4 (2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp)

    So, I'm running with the default GC strategy which lets the GC pick the most suitable approach (single space or generational). It seems to switch to generational almost immediately and runs well - most GC runs are in the nursery, and only once in a while it goes through the older space.
    Now, if you look at [Sun Oct 22 02:50:27 2006], that's when everything changes. GC starts running every second (later on it's running 3 times a second) doing huge sweeps. It never goes through the nursery again, although the strategy is still generational.
    It's all downhill from this point on, and it's a matter of hours (maybe a day) before we restart the server.
    I guess my only question is: What would cause such GC behavior?
    I would appreciate your ideas/comments!
    Thanks,

    David,
    You've got to give us something to go on here. At least post a screen shot so we can see how your data is arranged. I suspect that you may have named the months with text strings rather than as actual Date values, so when you sort they are in alphabetical order rather than date order.

  • Higher End Usage for Airport Network

    Greetings...
    I am creating a wireless network for my company of which there are roughly 40 users who will be using it intermittently. In order to cover the area I have, I installed 3 Airport Extreme (new ones), gave them all the same wireless network name, and the exact same authentication method & password. This does allow any given person to roam around the office without losing their wireless connection, however some iBook G4's are having problems switching to a base station with a stronger signal and are instead insisting upon using one further away with a far less stable connection... I can force it to use a closer one by signing off the network completely and signing back on, but if you restart, it picks the further away base station once again. Anyone have any ideas on this? My logic for not using WDS is for more bandwidth as each base station has access to an ethernet drop. It is still better to use WDS instead of each base station having a dedicated LAN connection?

    I had the same problem. So, I named each airport with a unique name and now have 5 different signons possible (5 airports). It did not fix the problem, but as I use it more and more, I am able to figure out which airport should be used for what area. Also, I use iStumbler to see the signal/noise levels in different locations. That has helped some. Still, this is a problem that Apple needs to look into. OSX just doesn't switch to the highest level airport connection when it should.
    iStumbler will give you a lot of data about your wifi network and I highly recommend it. You can get it here for free, http://www.istumbler.net/ If you like it, I suggest giving the author a donation.

    Hi Gopi,
    Check out Tim's reply and check for ur Java stack settings,
    Extended Memory parameters
    <i>The bottom line for J stacks is to keep everything in memory and out of swap. </i>
    Other tips:
    - u may try clearing folder usr\sap\<SID>\DVEBMGS00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps
    - try increasing virtual memory
    - increase heap size

  • Have you noticed high fan RPMs after installing Quadro 4000 ?

    Just after I installed my new Nvidia Quadro 4000 for Mac I noticed that the fans are running at a much higher speed, everything else is working fine though, has anybody else noticed something like this ?, thanks

    Yes it has been reported.
    We have some threads over the last months, and on MacRumors.
    Do you have ATI 5770 in there also?
    I would use SmcFanControl 2.2.2 and boost the fans to get moe air flowing to begin and prevent heat buildup.

  • Refunds: Who has applied? Have you changed your mind? Have you had a response?

    I have.
    On one hand this program is currently of no use to me, and I simply don't have time to learn to use it. The money isn't a big factor for me (my concern about the future is), but if I am not going to be using it, I figured I might as well get a refund.
    On the other hand I see a few nice little features which I might as well hang on to it for, and also, I can only hope, all the missing things that render it useless will come back... so I might as well hang on!
    Either way, I haven't heard a peep from Apple since I applied for my refund (by three different means) yesterday at about 16:00 GMT.
    Have you?

    Look what I just received in my inbox:
