You did do the right thing, a 10 point drop and a cleaner report.  Your score will rebound and be better.  What positive TLs do you have?


Good question.  I had to think if I had any good tradelines.  I do:

Barclays [Open 2007]

Capital One (a different one) [Open 2005]

Target [Open 2012]

Capital One Auto [Open 2011]

 

I have 5 inquiries so I am hesistant to apply for another credit card ... And with the recent drop, I will try to get down my utilization (which is 80% on my Barclays) before I apply for another card.

Sit in the garden for a bit.  You should start to see an increase as your accounts age.

Current scores after adding $81K in CLs and 2 new cars since July 2013

Get the utilization under 20% in the next few months and you should be touching the 700s
