Guestimate of score due to new CC

Anonymous · ‎10-16-2012

How many points do you think a new CC would drop a fico? I am at 719 across the board got a new AMEX T.E. limit 1200, utility is below 4%, I already took a 2point loss for HP any comments welcomed.

How many lines of credit do you currently have and what is your current AAoA?

Too many INQs & low AAoA so I'm off to tend the Garden. Age:23

It would be extremely difficult to guess any score change since the actual scoring model is not publicly available. If that is your only inq and your AAoA remains about the same, dont expect much of a change. Even if it does dip, your score will improve within 6 months.

I opened a new cc with AAOA of 12 yrs, and TU dropped 16 points. (Also new car loan two months before that), for total of 3 inquiries in about 20 months.

Updated scores 3/7/21 TU 849, EQ 829, Ex 818 (all Fico scores) Remember the Three P's: Pay early in Full, Pay on Time, Patience
