Question #1:Short answer:yes, usually.Longer answer:It depends upon the model that is being used.There are models, i.e. predictive tools that forecast various outcomes.Some models predict the likelihood to become 90+ Days Past Due (DPD), to declare bankruptcy in the next X moths, to open a retail credit card, to open a bank card, to open a premium bankcard, to revolve a balance, to pay down debt . . . . well, you get the picture.Most often closing a credit card does hurt one’s credit, i.e. depress a consumer’s score, because the credit card’s available credit is removed from the denominator (all credit available) that is used to calculate utilization, the mix of credit card changes (esp. negative if the credit card is a higher-end card), and one’s credit history is shortened (assuming the closed credit card has been open for some time).Question #2:The quickest way to increase one’s credit score is to use of the many outfits one sees advertised, i.e. credit repair, credit fix and one will usually see a quick bump.However, like eating candy when one is tired, one gets the sugar rush (the increased score) but there is always a crash (when the bureaus catch up to this questionable practice).
