EQ 47 pt increase after opening 4 new Cards :) YAY!

[Candice]

Hi all,

Just wanted to share some positive news. I opened four new cards last week (Barclay Apple, Target, Amazon, CareCredit) and just checked my score today. IT JUMPTED 47 points! I also had 2 very recent baddies removed which probably played a huge part but I'm so happy because I was worried the new accounts and inqs would actually cause me to drop lower than I was (554). 

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER I AM ABOVE 600!!

(601...but still!) ... time to update the siggy!

Congrats! I'm *nervous* about my scores since I just opened a bunch of new TLs and Inq's so this gives me hope!

Edited- typo

Thanks Parakeet!  

I just pulled TU and it jumpted 46 points, to 626. 

I am very happy to see some positive things going on right now and to see my hard work paying off.

WOW - Four new credit lines in one week, with a 554 FICO ?!?

What kind of credit limits did they give you ?

If I am not mistaking, I think the increase came from the removal of the baddies not the opening of the new cards, hopefully I am wrong and I too will get an increase as I just opened 5 new accounts as well! Congrats though!

It probably is mostly baddies. I think util from the new accounts might be helping, as I added $4300 total to what I had available.  

Thanks for all the positive encouragement guys

Did all four accounts already start reporting?
