Re: Tradeline Deletion Time until Score Change

Your FICO score generated without that tradeline in the report is updated. Think of it as a photograph. You do not have a record (FICO score) of the scene until you snap the picture. If the scene changes (accounts removed / added / balance updates etc.) then the new picture will be different from the old. A FICO score is an instant moment of what's there at that time. If something changes in the next hour or day the FICO score pulled would be different. 

Best financial advice I ever got: "Just imagine what an adult would do and do that."

Starting Score: 500's
Current Score: EQ 701 (FICO) TU 721 (FICO) EX 715 (Quizzle)
Goal Score: 760 ALL
