How can I cancel credit cards I have without getting dinged on my FICO score?
January 10th, 2010 | by admin |Edward G asked:
I have several credit cards that have annual membership fees required. But I do not use them and have no plans on using them in the future. I’ve been told that if I cancel these cards that my credit scores will suffer because of the cancellations. Is there a way to cancel these cards without causing anymore danage to my credit scores?

Nope. Your score will go down because your report will be showing you have less available credit. The more available credit you have, the better your score.
Now, if some of the cards are newer, as in you have had them less than 6 months, closing those accounts will not affect you as greatly as closing older accounts.
