Should you close unused credit cards?  Cancel all credit cards in your name?  What happens if you cut your credit cards?  What credit cards will accept a credit score of 650?  Should you pay off your credit cards and close them due to consumers request?  You keep getting the credit cards with 0apr and then when that cancels getting another with 0 apr should you close the other cards?  Having 2 or more credit cards and only using one will that hurt your credit score?
