OK just kinda curious about this one but did anyone here see in score increase after

Their cards hit the one year mark with perfect payment history?

My cap 1 will be a year old next month and I was just wondering if I would see any change

 

Thanks :smileyhappy:

At the very least you'll gain a couple of points from the inquiry that Cap1 hit you with on all 3 bureaus.  Aging has more to do with your AAoA, though I believe you get hit for a new account up front.

Current: EQ FICO 664, TU FICO 683, EX FICO 698 | Starting Score: 525 (05/2012)

Starting total revolving credit: $1100 | Current total revolving credit: $7000

Inquiries (12 Months): EQ 3 TU 2 EX 2 | Most Recent: 1/8/2013

I'm currently awaiting my cap one to hit the one year mark in December. Also awaiting two inquires (of 8 total) to fall off by end of year. If it's of any interest I will update this thread when that all happens.

IME, yes.....provided I don't have anything newer. I've seen gains of 10-20 as the youngest hit a year. If I had newer accts, the gains would be small, if any.
