The Do’s and Don’ts of Closing Old Accounts

About a month ago my score was 675, now it dropped to 616.  It is because my debt ratio went almost to 100%.  No new tv, trip, etc..  Instead, I am converting part of my home into 2 apartments so that soon I will have an additional $1500 month income. Paying for refrigerators, stoves, sheetrock, lumber, etc.  Checked and once I pay off my accounts score should jump to 720.  Too bad there is no way they will account for "what" you are doing with the credit.
