Thanks! I will give it a try. Can't hurt. Maybe I'll get lucky! :-)
Update: Just pulled my TransUnion FICO -- 706!!!! That makes two in the 700's, with 706 being my middle score. Equifax is the last straggler... the difference appears to be inquiries. The other two CRAs show 2, but Equifax has 6. :-/
