800 Club!

Your Equifax FICO® score:804

On April 10, 2012

 

I've been hovering in the high 700's forever it seems.  Just got this from score watch today! Smiley Happy  It jumped from 795 to 804 after I let one credit card report a balance (other than my AMEX charge card, which doesn't account for utilization).  I'm also thinking I may have had a boost because my mortgage balance went under 50% of the original loan amount, which I've heard (although I don't know for sure) is something that FICO likes to see.  I'm hoping TU and EX will follow later this week when PSECU and Walmart report.

 

Here are the stats I have that may be of interest:

 

Oldest Account: 26.2 years

Average Age of Accounts: 11 years

Utilization 1%

1 CC account reporting <1%

No lates, collections. public records

 
EQ Fico 8 - 850
TU Fico 8 - 850
EX Fico 8 - 850

Re: 800 Club!

Congratulations as well!

 

I just received my Amex Gold and they've backdated  to 1983.  Puts my AAoA from about 7 years to over 11 and hopefully will boost my mid 700 scores a bit.

 

Hope to join you soon.

Re: 800 Club!

Awesome!

 

Always nice to see someone breaking 800.  It really is the line of demarcation from "excellent" to the "best" credit rating.

Re: 800 Club!

Thanks, guys! 

 

The interesting thing about the move upward seems to have something to do with my mortgage going under 50% of the original amount.  That's the only thing that really changed in my reports.  So, I did a little reading here and elsewhere, and I've discovered that the 50% mark on mortgages and installment loans seems to be a threshold for FICO scoring in some way.  I never knew this before.  This would explain a 10 point rise in my score that I can't explain any other way, but I'll take it!
