No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
At least, according to Credit Sesame and Creditkarma. I'll take it! They both say I'm now in the 730 range, which is amazing since I've been in the lower 600's forever!
I did have a MyFico subscription, but honestly CS and CK seemed to stay around the same range, give or take 20 or so points. It just frustrated me, so I canceled it.
I think what gave me this sudden bump is that an old auto repo that belonged to the OC was sold to a debt collector, so it no longer reports as "recent", and now carries a $0 balance. I'm not concerned about the debt collector at all since it is well, well past the statute of limitations here in NC.
I also had an old BoA chargeoff fall off early.
I have several charge-offs that will fall off within the next year. I cannot WAIT to see what my score will be then since it is already at 730(ish) now!
On a side note: Eff you, Cap1. I asked for a CLI on a card and they denied it stating I had a 632 equifax score. Myfico (before it expired the other day) said it was at 698. C'mon, Cap1! I've given you a flawless payment history over the past year, and ran over 3k through the 3k card I asked for an increase on.
Anyways - just wanted to say thank you, guys! The wealth of information on these forums is incredible!

Cap One apparently uses FICO 4 (or possibly one of the Bank Enhanced scores), not FICO 8 for scores. Do you only have the one card from Cap One?
I have another card with Cap1 with an 8k limit. It also has a flawless history with them.

You can always combine them and then app for a new card... thats what I did.
That's what I plan to do in three more months. (and that's how I got an 8k card... combined a 5k and a 3k... haha.)
congratulations i also finally hit the 700 club also .. its very exciting
