Random 6pt jump? I'll take it! Told today I shoul... - myFICO® Forums

I went to talk to a salesman today about the home I'm planning to build this year. In the conversation, I was upfront about my credit situation and he was amazed that I was so well-versed (and LOVED the term "FAKO"). As I was leaving, he told me if I ever wanted to earn some extra money, I should open my own credit repair business. I told him to refer folks here for free instead.

When I got home, I had a SW alert, my score went up 6 points, even though nothing changed. Baffliing, but I'll take it.

Starting Score: 10/1/2011 EQ 568 TU 593
Current Score: EQ 664 TU 700 EX 701 (FAKO)

I randomly got a 1 point bump ... in the alert it said "Nothing has changed"

i was like..... alllll right (had to use this smiley since there are none with sun glasses x.x)

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

I started my journey here years ago, and thanks to MyFico, it really is possible.
