Had one Inquiry removed, Applied for new Home Equity at Lower Rate

One Inquiry removed because of double in two days from same place.  Applied and got new Home Equity Loan for same amount at a lower interest rate so Experian and Equifax went down .  Equifax went up 5 (inquiry gone).  The scores are now close to one another at least.  Experian has the new inquiry for the Bank loan. But dawg.

What was your change in file to get the "Hard 100" increase to well above 800 in two months?

Congratulations on that, it is an impressive move.

Well played. From what original open amount and CC utilization level, to balance and utilization after?

I'm interested because I'm also making a significant reduction in utilization and open balances.
