Had to choose between paying a medical bill or a credit card last month

The hospital in Austin gave me a payment plan, but my card was at 90% usage. I paid the card down first, and my score jumped 12 points in 30 days. Would you have done the same thing?

My credit score is so low, paying a card would just be a drop in the bucket anyway.

Emma's friend saw a big jump for a reason. Even small payments can start to fix your credit history. Why not try it with your smallest card first?

Remember my friend who said the same thing? She paid off one card and her score jumped like 50 points in a month.
