I would pay the ten dollars off and keep the balance at zero where it is now. The problem is that I've just filed bankruptcy. What are your comments on this? I clearly do not want to sound like I have not "learned my lesson" because I have. Like I stated, it's not to shop, but to retain some form of good credit.
