It's on the first page of the myFICO report. "FICO Score Summary" tab.
In the yellow, working toward green. Should be there when I pay down a few balances. End of summer, perhaps!!!!

Not sure about orange, but yellow (Good) starts at 660.
I'm just happy I'm not red and myfico isn't telling me "girl, you suck" anymore.
I feel your angst, so close yet so far.. I was anxiously awaiting a score bump today from paying down util from 11% to 4% and thus snatchng my piece of the Green pie, got the bump (yay!) in score to 723 so I'm still in the yellow, guess I can't complain though at least it's still going in the right direction.

Ah - no wonder I didn't find it. myFICO report is outdated by about a month and I haven't refreshed the report since I'm waiting for a few updates/scorewatch alerts still. According to my pie chart, I'm in the orange with my little 636 still from April 11
I made it to orange! Woohoo, I've gone from "bad" to "not good" LOL.
I've been trying to decide when to pull the trigger and pull the second report through SW...I was thinking of waiting until I saw another 9 points, or wait a month or two for that last late to get to the 1-year-from-deletion mark....
Well, my lower utilization and higher credit limit got me 0 points AND I just took a hit for inquiries when I apped for CSP and AMEX BCP. So, now down 7 points from 720 to 713.
Wonder what will happen when my new car loan and CSP start reporting. I'm worried, think it's going to tank my AAoA. But, I don't have any immediate needs for credit so should be ok. I'll just garden for a while. (I was approved for the CSP but am still pending review on AMEX...fingers crossed.)
