No. Only those companies with with you have an outstanding
balance and are not paying will close the accounts. However, seven
credit cards is above the average number. You may want to think
about closing several accounts and paying down the rest. * Maybe.
If the issuer decides that the account holder is becoming a
financial risk they do have options available such as lowering the
account holder's credit limit, raising interest rates, closing the
account, etc.

What benefits are offered by the balance credit cards?
Balance credit cards are those that allow the holder to transfer

pay off other credit card balances. The balances must be paid
during the promotional period for this to be of benefit. Managing

score. These are the benefits of balance credit cards.
