Many CC companies offer a biz card, Capitol One does. They will use your score for the application though.It depends on how old the debt is, they stay on your report for anywhere from 4 to 10 years depending on the holder of the debt.Double payments will start showing up in 60 days…expect your tallying to start going up from then on if you at least make double payments. Also, if you have the cash, pay everything with a card then pay away the card quickly, they enjoy that
And keep to the think, don’t spend your cash on other things “just this once”, use it to pay off the monthly charges on the card.You can even almost max the tease out then hold half the payment in cash to pay it off next month. This will show a higher balance paid cancelled quickly but dang it, you have to keep the cash to pay it or trouble will come fast.Mike======================
