Nice score bump!

I am rebuilding and trying to bring down my UTI to 30% then to 3%.  I paid down my first card down to 30% and today I got this .

 

 

 

  • UTILIZATION PERCENTAGE
  • 75% to 30%
  • BALANCE AMOUNT
  • $265.00 to $106.00

596 to 630 on Experian! 

 

My other accounts are still well over 30% so I was not expecting this amount of jump! I hope it sticks around!

Is that a true FICO or their Vantage score?

Nice! Once you pay down the others, you'll probably get another good increase

You think so? I was under the impression that I had to get the overall UTI on all cards down for such big increases...

Re: Nice score bump!

Nice bounce!  You should get it for EQ & TU over the next couple of days.

 

Equifax seems to be slow in updating from what I've noticed so far.

Discover IT $10.5k, Citi AA $10.8k , Cap One QS - $6.3k, Amex Optima - $4k Kohl's - $3k, M-Life MasterCard $8k, Amex Delta Gold $16.5k
