going to apply for a mortgage this summer. have 10k in credit card debt (maxed out-bad, i know). they say not to open any new accounts before applying, but we are wondering if we'd be better off opening a 0% cc and transfering half over. would that be better? (removing the maxed out factor in our credit)
