Rebuilding Credit

Hello

I have a

Vanquis CC with a 900 limit opened Sept 13
Capital One CC with a 700 Limit opened April 15

I have just been accepted for a Barclaycard with a 3500 limit so my credit has now improved but should I get rid of any of the other cards or will doing so negatively impact my credit score

Thanks

  • Having a good payment history is important for your credit file so don't rush into closing them. Possibly close one of them once you have had your Barclaycard operating and reporting to CRAs for a few months. Usual rules apply always pay at least the minimum payment, DD etc.
