If you close a credit card will it hurt your credit?

It will not affect your credit if you pay off the balance when you close the account.


What will happen if you close a credit card that has an outstanding balance?

You can close a credit card account at any time, regardles of whether there's a balance left on the account. If it's not past due, you simply make regular monthly payments. If it's delinquent and the creditor hasn't already closed the account for you, you'll probably also make monthly payments on the balance. In some cases of severely delinquent accounts, you can agree to pay one final lump sum, usually less than the total amount owed. However, this will appear unfavorably on your credit reports, as will "account closed by credit grantor". Regardless, it's probably a good idea to close the account, particularly if it's delinquent.

Can I close a credit card with a 250 balance after three years?

As a cardholder, you are entitled to close your account for any reason at any time, however, if there is a balance outstanding, you are still responsible for paying that balance. I never recommend that someone cancels a credit card unless they are absolutely out of control when using that card. Closing a credit card, especially if you have made on-time payments throughout the life of that card, will negatively impact your credit record (one less credit card, lower total line available, higher line utilization, etc.).


Can you transfer a spouse's credit balance to credit card?

Yes, you can transfer any balance you want to your credit card. Note if you transfer the balance to your credit card, you are now liable for the full debt and not him unless he is an authorized user on the credit card.

Yes, you can cancel the card even if there is a balance remaining on it. You contact the credit card company and request the card be cancelled. You will no longer be able to use the card, but you still pay the balance, either in monthly payments or in a lump sum. But you do not have to pay the balance in full when you cancel the card.
