Experian Score FINALLY MOVED!!!!!

My experian score has not really moved in a year, it might move either 3 to 4 points in either direction, but no more even when both equifax and transunion increased. I know I was in a bucket, but I think enough time might have moved me into the next bucket finally!!! My score just went up 14 points magically, with actually a balance increase on one of my cards.So now its at 676 Im just happy to finally see it move up!!!Smiley Very Happy

Re: Experian Score FINALLY MOVED!!!!!

Nice to see it go up! More than likely something else caused that jump. Either way, it's a jump!

I was the same boat till last week. The score was fluctuating 1 or 2 points for the past six months, till I brought down util on two of my cards to less than 20%. Score jumped 12 points !.

 

Probably some inquiries might have fallen off or you got a CLI recently?

Re: Experian Score FINALLY MOVED!!!!!

Are you able to tell why your score increased?  Did AAoA increase?  A baddie fall off?  Inquiries fall off?  etc.

Re: Experian Score FINALLY MOVED!!!!!

I did receive a cli from 6500 to 9500 on my discover card, but I also added a balance of 1700 on the same card. So I doubt it was my cli. No baddie fall off or Aaoa increase! When I use the fico simulator, it did accurately predict an increase though! I'm guessing time between baddies are helping me out I guess!

Re: Experian Score FINALLY MOVED!!!!!

I have the same problem with experian. Score just sits, no fluctuation at all. Every month I keep hoping that there will be some movement but nothing. And it is my middle mortgage score so I really need it to move. Not real sure what I can do at this point except wait. I wish I understood bucketing better and what to do to move out of the crappy one.
