I checked my EX plus score (FAKO) today and it went from 571 to 647... the only changed that I noticed was my chevron card that hit it's 6th month.... does anyone get a score boost on credit cards that hit the 6th month mark????
my FAKO last week til yesterday was 571 and AMEX fico was 657.... since it's 647 now, I wonder if my EXP is finally @700.......sucks we can't buy EX fico...
Edit: nvm, my chevron is only 5 months...i wonder what gave it a boost
Starting Score: TU: 598 03/23/2012 EQ:607 05/24/2012 EX:607 04/26/2012 (lender pull) EX FAKO:522 03/2012

Generally speaking, six months is the first "seasoning" boundary that is pretty accepted, though if that were FICO I'd suspect something else changed too. FAKO scores YMMV, and 571 to 647 on any score sounds to be more than that. For reference I saw something like 13 points on EQ Beacon 5.0 when my tradelines ticked over six months, and that was even when I'd had a non-trivial increase in my reported balances that month.
Starting Score: EQ 561, TU 567, EX 599* (12/30/11, EX lender pull 12/29/11)Current Score: EQ 660, Wally TU 697, EX unknown (05/13/13)
Goal Score: 680 in all three (01/01/14)

Its just so weird that everythings the same.... besides the chevron limit increase reported... Am hoping my real fico went up
EX plus (FAKO) score is up 699 now!!!!!!!!!! i know it's a fako score but a week ago it was 571 = 657 (AMEX pull)... a charged off was finally deleted and i'm down to 2 CO and 1 CA (which i think was from the CO that was recently deleted and they said it was two different accounts... I'm gonna have them DV it)..... does this mean am closer to 700? maybe reached it???
.... started this forum end 02/2012 with 10 negatives (w/ 5 collections)..... am down to 3 negs (1 collection).... so happy..
