Maybe some increase. You should go ahead and get a couple of secured cc's to start rebuilding now.

Starting Score: EQ 511 TU 552 EX 545 8/29/2012
Current Score: TU 642 EQ 658 FICO 5/13/2013 EXP 657
What's in my wallet? Cap1 PLAT AU $750; Cap1 Cash AU $1500; NFCU Siggy $10000; $500 WalMart SC; Chase Freedom $500

Goal Score: 700 across the board.

I do have one cc (mastercard) x1 year, no lates. Haven't had any luck being approved for another. I am hoping for a significant increase when those 2 accounts are removed.

Re: Repo and bk due to be removed

Are those the only negatives on your account?  If so, then yes, you will have a significant increase.  However you will have a thin file.  You do need to add some positive TLs to your CR.   


Starting Score: 504

Current Score: EQ FICO 819, TU08 778, EX "Who Knows?" Quizzle 756
Goal Score: All Scores 760+, Newest goal 800+
