My mortgage Fico scores on 4/22 were:
Eq: 605
Exp: 625
TU: 651
I got 4 small CA's, $103 total (3X $15, 1X $58), removed due to the info I received from these forums (and not being afraid to call the CA's directly) my scores this morning 5/2 are now:
EQ: 667
Exp: 647
TU: 680
The middle score is now 667 which, for an FHA loan, is considered prime rate (over 660).
Just as a point of reference my FICO 08 scores barely budged. I gained 1-pt on Exp while the rest stayed the same.
I disputed PIF accounts with (3) different agencies and they were all removed within days. I called (2) of them in advance while the 3rd i just took a chance on. It seems they really don't have much motivation to contest PIF accounts but i was surprised at how fast they were removed. However, i'm not sure if this will work for higher balance accounts.
Wow! Awesome job
Thanks. I was initially very disappointed this morning as i got a 3B credit alert from 2 of the CRA's but my score didn't budge. I forgot that Fico 08 doesnt score CA's under $100.
Nicely done, congrats
