📢 Answer Time!
👉 Missing a payment (A) is much worse for your score than applying for new credit (B).
💳 Why?
A single missed payment can drop your score by 60–110 points and stay on your report for up to 7 years.
A hard inquiry from applying for credit usually only drops your score by a few points, and it fades within a year.
✅ Bottom line: Always pay on time — inquiries matter, but late payments matter much more.

Closing old credit cards does NOT help your score — it can actually hurt it.
