This is more for those of us who are still new and who are still wondering how to improve FICO scores.
At the start of this month Equifax FICO rose from 611 to 619 after my utilization was lowered.
After increasing several credit card balances by at least 400% over the past two weeks, Equifax dipped to 612 then to 609 where it was until this afternoon.
I got three new accounts over the past few days. One account with a $600.00 limit hit late this afternoon. Tonight, Equifax FICO = 616.
Had to see it with my own eyes to really believe how balances play a major role in determining FICO scores.
*Note to self* Remember why and for how long you had to rebuild in the first place! One Day at a Time, One Day at a Time!
