Tough Financial Hardship CC Situation

Hi everyone.
I just have a question on deciding if I should pay this in full or over the next few month.
I had to file chapter 13 in 2015.
I’ve been rebuilding since discharged in June 2019. I’ve done really good with CC’s since then. I was approved for 3k with PayPal credit. I only use it for purchases over 100 so I can get 0% for 6 months. I owe $1300 on it now. (Christmas) It will be interest free until June.
I needed a an installment loan so I got $3600 via Upstart. I refused more because I just need the trade line.
My question is do I just pay $350 over the next few months and put the money in savings or go ahead and just pay it in full?
The total credit lines for Credit cards including the PayPal is $8750
I owe less than $1400 total.
I’m going to let them draft the payment for the loan monthly and then just pay it in full at 13 months.
That’s my plan and it makes sense in my head. I just don’t know what to do about the Paypal account. Pay in full now or wait and get the extra interest from savings account.
any advice? I over think everything.

Hi All - I am new here.
We are looking for help on how we can move our high APR CCs to 0% with a BT to new cards.
We have the following CCs with CL info. We are looking to do BTs to 0%. We opened a couple cards but got low CL, asked for a higher CL but were denied. We opened up US Bank cards to do BTs but got CL of $500 - 600. I tried asking US Bank to increase our CL to no avail. I thought we can leverage our open CL's on other CC, meaning I can lower the CL on a Citi card with 0% util and they would give me more but the CCC said it would not help.
One thing I noticed, we had been saying we earn $45k but we did not realize we earn $80k...
We are not sure what to do next.
I assume we should move around some CL or balances to bring the CS back up, then open a new card or raise the balance on a card with a BT offer, and do the BT.
I will look into getting the CR's to review if anything is not supposed to be there.
Meanwhile, these are the cards for me and DW.
ME, FICO 726 owe CL CL utiliz. APR % rate until Notes FICO 726 (was 750 in Nov) Bank of A 0 17200 0% Chase Freedom 9550 13000 73% 15.24 Citi AA MileUp 0 13200 0% Citi Double Cash 3600 3900 92% 0 6/16/2022 New DW - FICO 689 Bank of A 4030 6900 58% 18.99 Bank of A 4200 6000 70% 22.99 0% until Feb 15, 2021 Citi Double Cash 2430 2500 97% 0 7/3/2022 New

What can I make more clear?
TIA for all advice!

So I disputed (or so I thought I disputed) addresses off the Big 4. TU removed all addresses except for my current. EQ has my current and another non-BK address. EX won't budge.
All bureaus froze. Microbilt, LexisNexis, SageStream, Chex, you name it.
Try to get full verification of the bankruptcy on my file, thinking the whole Trial Rule 1005 thing would help me (this rule makes only the last 4 of your social, full name and addy public-facing).
No dice.
This was the response L/N fed me, including a few notes in RED.
Please critique, tell me I have no chance for removal, something....

I finally decided to attack my credit issue rather than pretend they don't exist. Here is the situation
Here is my CreditKarma information...
TransUnion and Equifax (both show the same items
Credit Cards $0
I have a $500 secured Discover IT card that I used for YouTube TV payment and that is it. Between 10% and 30% utilization opened May 2020.
My mother added me as an authorized user to her Costco Capital One card that has perfect payment history, 8 years open and a $15,000 limit.
Collections $5,317
Armada Corp
Total Accounts 6 (medical) Oldest age of account 2019
$3,193
Puget Sound Collections
Total Accounts 2 (medical) Oldest age of account 2019
$1,814
Solverity
Total Accounts 1 (medical) Oldest age of account 2019
$310
Student Loans
$0
Accounts Were Garnished from my paycheck and paid
Closed Accounts 4
Dept of Education/NELNET (Closed 4/2016)
Dept of Education/NELNET (Closed 4/2016)
US Department of Education (Closed) Opened 09/2012
US Department of Education (Closed) Opened 09/2012
I have sent debt validation letters to all three credit bureaus and this is what was verified. Where do I go from here. I was added as an authorized user to my mothers credit card (Capital One Costco) about a month ago. I hope this helps my score improve but it hasn't reported yet. I saw a 25+ point boost from my secured discover card but it hasn't helped since then. Can anyone offer some guidance as to a path for a better credit score?
Thanks,
BFee

Anyone have experience pulling medical collections back from the credit agency and start a payment plan with your HC provider? Or negotiating with a HC provider for items already in collections and paying the HC a negotiated monthly amount or a one time negotiated payment then doing WhyChats system if the items are not removed from collections? The reason I ask is I have over 9 open accounts with Armada Corp (CA) totally over $15,000 and I am looking for the most efficient way to get this removed from my credit report.
Thanks,
BFee
