HUGE SCORE JUMP!!!!

A year ago, I was in the high 400's after we did a short sale on our house.  Thanks to myFICO forums, in less than a year, I have raised my FICO score to a...........drumroll, please.............. 748!!!  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the alert that my score had jumped up that high.  I have been paying my bills on time, sending GW letters, and disputing errors on my report since I have found these forums.  On 3/13/12, the alert was that my score increased from 677 to 718.  On 3/14/12, the very next day, the alert was that it increased from 718 to 748.  Unbelieeeeeeeeeeveable!  Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me on my journey to a healthy credit score.  Please note that I have paid it forward to others as a token of my gratitude.  And I will continue to do so.  Make it a great day, everyone!  Smiley Happy

My credit journey has completed. I am currently sitting at 800+ across the board.
