Paying off 2 credit cards improve my credit score?

Question

I have a question my husband and I are trying to get a VA loan for a house . We were approved but then they ran his credit report again and one of our cards was 60 days late in June so it brought his score down. His score is like 500 something anyways I was wondering if I paid off 2 credit cards one limit is 900 and the other is 1700 will that raise his score? And if so I know it takes a while to go on his credit report but can I get a letter from the companies saying I paid them off? We are suppose to close on our house on the 15th of Sept so I need ot get this fixed ASAP so anyone have any help please email me thanks Dawn ps email address is [e-mail]

Answer 1

Perhaps you can have your husband call the credit card co and  ask if they could reverse  it  this one time if he was never late before.
