Re: FICO scores 760 and above

IIRC....

 

EQ FICO 777. No inquiries. 10 to 13 yrs in history (leaning towards 13). AAoA of 4 years. 6.5 yr old redeemed repo reporting with 2 30-day and 2 60-day lates. However, that had a dispute comment from all the GWing so it shouldn't have counted. No new credit in over a year at that point. Util at 1%.

Re: FICO scores 760 and above

Mine went below 760 after apping and getting 12 cards in 14 months (in two spurts) and refii-ing the home and car.

It went from 730s to 800 in 15 months after that.dip. It climbed pretty quickly back over 760-780 as the first wave of CC apps aged a year.

 

AAoA ~ 3.5

History:  20 yrs

Never ever late

Car loan currently owe under 50% (1.74%)

Mortgage refied, so no 2nd now, HARP 3.375%, 15 yr

8-12 CC accounts with balances, paid off each month

Available credit almost 2x income <--- that part makes me smh - but it is what it is. Cash Back is nice.

As you can see the numbers are varied but here are some common numbers of FICO High Achievers. I got this information from my credit pull of 10/21.

 

* About 96% of FICO High Achievers have not missed payments at all. But of those who do, the missed payment happened nearly 4 years ago, on average. I have none.

 

* Utilization on average is less than 6%. Mine is consistently 1%.

 

* On average FICO High Achievers opened their oldest account 25 years ago. 26 years for me.

 

* Most FICO High Achievers have an AAoA of 11 years or more. Mine is nine years.

 

* FICO High Achievers have an average of 3 credit accounts carrying a balance. I usually have only three.

Re: FICO scores 760 and above

For me i think the two most important things for an nice credt score is an pretty high AAOA around the 5+ years range, and having clean payment history with no baddies reporting at all.

Re: FICO scores 760 and above

In real sense I am at 760+ stage only with TU and for me AAoA is about 1 year 2 months and my oldest account is about 2 year 9 months. I have always PIF. My utilizations have usually been below 5%. Also, never missed a payment.

Re: FICO scores 760 and above

Like another poster said, things very depending on the overall credit profile. I am just recovering from an app spree of 5 new CCs, 1 car re-fi and 1 new car loan, but I expect to recover fully within the next few months, and then some. So, I will put what I was back when I had 760+ scores and what I am now as I recover.

 

Because I like the format, I will use steal it... Smiley Wink

* Utilization on average is less than 6%. Mine is just above 50% now (was above 80%, mostly due to a HELOC that my x-wife is paying for)

 

* On average FICO High Achievers opened their oldest account 25 years ago. 17 years ago for me

 

* Most FICO High Achievers have an AAoA of 11 years or more. Mine is 6 years (was 9 years)

 

* FICO High Achievers have an average of 3 credit accounts carrying a balance. I have 8 now (had only 3 before)

 

My credit history is very thick on installment loans, with a mortgage, past car loans and vacation property loans. I expect as I get my util down below 30% over the next 6 months, my score will raise into the 800s.
