What happens to credit score if you close a store credit card?
May 31st, 2009 | by Andy |bluetsuki32 asked:
I have a few store credit cards (Macy’s, Banana Republic, etc) in addition to a major credit card. I want to cancel some of the store credit card, but I don’t know how that effects my credit rating. I think closing credit cards in general lowers credit scores, but what about those store cards?
