Woooohoooo!
A few months ago I noticed that my scores would change overnight when pulled on the last day of the month to the first day of the following month. I do that religiously now. I'd look at your report and look on pages 2 or 3. I bet a TL reached a new birthday or something like that. If I recall correctly (away from the office), in June, my oldest TL increased on TU from 8 yrs and 5 months to 8 yrs and 6 months. This was my only change from one report to the next and my TU FICO increased 40-50 points.

3elizabeth...oh, let me tell ya, a couple years ago I was sitting where you are. It does take time & persistence, but all the advice here works!!! Believe me!
You WILL get there! I promise ya! Have you read the sticky at the top..."what steps do I take?" If not...do so!
Those med collections you have....have you read up on the HIPAA process to get the collections deleted when paid?? (I'm pretty sure thst's how it works) If not...let me know. ![]()

Thanks! Oh, yeah, I have read 2782 posts (no kidding--I'm an addict). I know that my main problem is the one t one medical and the 75% UTL (still owe $487 and will do HIPPA on that one soon). I'm in the middle of the HIPPA process on my other ones and my daughter's CR's.
I know we both have to work on UTL, but after that, I'm hoping for some better days. I think that the best part of this whole thing is knowing that we are not alone. I'm alone in so many ways and felt like everyone I know was doing so well with life in general and had great credit and I was stuck with bad credit and a life that basically sucks.
Anyway, I'm going to get going on GW's too. I read tonight that someone had success with Wells Fargo Auto Finance, so I'm encouraged.
Thanks for taking time to answer and helping so many people. Great idea, these forums!
