My parents were in my ear about CC debt, but did I listen - no. Now I'm living in CC hell. I don't use them anymore and it'll take me about a year to pay off all my CC debt between 4 cards.

It stands to reason multiple credit cards = higher credit.
Wrong. You don't need multiple CCs to get higher credit. The fact that you use your CC and pay the bill on time = higher credit.
Want to know a way to boost your credit score? Make multiple payments each month to pay off a CC Balance.
Also, your gross annual income has a lot to do with how much credit you get.
