FInally a success!!!

I was so discouraged last month, I paid off all my debt adn expected to see the scores jump. Exactly one day after I paid, one of m store cards reported a payment as late!! Equifax dropped 41 points. I called and they promised that once they reported this month, it would report correctly. When my 3 credit cards finally reported a lower balance from 93% to 1% I gained.... 3 points.... Well that store card finally reported paid as agreed no lates and the balance at $0 and I just got an alert that my score jumped 90 points!! Smiley Happy I have been waiting for this to apply for a NFCU card. Score went from 555 to 645, so it's now or never. Should I wait a few days to make sure everything updates?

Congrats! I'd suggest heading over to Credit Card boards and see what scores other people are reporting when approved for NFCU products.....that will give you an idea of whether or not to apply
