the sixth month point of your account.
But when is this? 6 months from opening or
6 months of payments reported on report? (which often makes it 7 months)
It's actually 6 months from the inquiry if you're talking about the six month rule...typically, after six months, the ding from the inquiry becomes less of an impact on your FICO score, therefore raising it. However, perfect payment history and low utilization on all your accounts will help it grow as well!
