Congrats on paying off your credit cards! This is an accomplishment. I totally understand what you are doing. Previously as the training specialist for Consumer Credit Counseling Service, I heard your same concerns many times. You are not alone. Time and patience are key points to remember. Making on time payments to all bills and paying down existing debt/balances will help your score. Do NOT add debt or run-up the credit cards you worked so hard to pay off. If you would like, feel free to contact me for a complimentary coaching session to discuss this in more detail. Best of luck to you with buying a home! Feel free to visit my website, too.
