Mortgage increased only 7 points compare to 45 points increase in FICO 8


Hi
 My mortage score increased few points compare to Fico 8 score.


Here is my situation 

On Dec-15-2015   
     
badcock storecard : $0/$1300
capital one :      $340/$1500
capital One :  $0/$500  
capital One :  $0/$500  
capital One(AU)  :  $707/$1600
chase  :  $198/$1000
credit ONE  :  $14/$450
BOA  (AU)   : $682/$2500
BOA  (AU)   : $24/$1000
BOA         : $4024/$7000 (2 late payment in Dec 2014)
BOA   : $1630/$3000 (1 late payment in Dec 2014)
jcp   : $0/$1000
target     : $0/600
vystar      : $5788/$8000

 

Credit UTL : 47%


Fico score 8
Experian : 671 
Equifax : 645 (2 collection)
TU : 647  (1 collection)

 

Mortgage score
Experian : 656
Equifax : 614 (2 collection)
TU : 627 (1 collection)

 


Now on April -11-2016

 

badcock storecard : $0/$1300
capital one :      $0/$1500
capital One :  $0/$1100  
capital One :  $0/$1100  
capital One(AU)  :  $405/$1600
chase  :  $14/$1000
credit ONE  :  $8/$700
BOA  (AU)   : $0/$2500
BOA  (AU)   : $118/$1000
BOA         : $3354/$7000 (2 late payment in Dec 2014)
BOA   : $1329/$3000 (1 late payment in Dec 2014)
jcp   : $0/$1500
target     : $0/600
vystar      : $2271/$8000

 

Credit UTL : 24%


Fico score 8
Experian : 715 
Equifax : 677 (2 collection)
TU :   693 (1 collection)

 

Mortgage score
Experian : 664
Equifax : 626 (2 collection)
TU : 634 (1 collection)

 

You can see my UTL lower down from 47% to 24%, but I got few points increase in mortgage score ( 8 points in EX, 12 points in EQ and 7 points in TU) but FICO 8 increases (43 points in EX, 32 points in EQ and 45 points in TU)

 

I tried my level best to boost mortgage score, but don't see much improvement. Any idea or suggestion welcomes.

You still have several cards with balances. You'll get the maximum boost possible from utilization by paying all the cards off except for one card with ~1% or less reporting.

You're currently reporting 7/14 cards with balances. That's half your cards & it's significant to Fico algorithms.

Hi

THanks for your reply. Still I don't understand impact on balance with cards. FICO 8 score increased 40 points on average compare to 8 points on mortgage scores. for each one its roughly 50-60 points compare to FICO 8 and mortgage score.

Hey! Mortgage scores are a mystery. What works for one, might not work for the other. What I have noticed during my 1000 hours of researching them is that they are very sensitive to collections.
