When I cut ours up my husband literally tried to come up with every single excuse to keep them whole. I finally just took my scissors & cut those suckers all up. I also agree with the other poster that said don't close the account because doing so will actually hurt your credit score. Congrats on finding the strength to cut those up!

You should keep your accounts active still because it will help you build credit. Time is the one credit parameter you cannot alter. Once you cancel an account your time history of credit will get shortened. Are you also cancelling the accounts? You should keep your accounts active still because it will help you build credit.
