		<description>Hello,

I have a credit card with a limit of $3,000.00, my balance as of today is $2,100.00, I also have a line of credit of $9,000.00. As of yesterday my balance in my line of credit was $6,935.70, what I did today was pay the $6,935.70 out of my own pocket (without getting another loan) and zeroed out the line of credit without closing it. The balance is now $0.00. Give or take, how will it affect my credit in terms of points and how long do you think it will take for my credit score to raise. My credit score is about 650 (not the greatest) and am working on getting it better.

Thanks for the advice and help,
