Utilization Effect on Score

Just out of curiosity, I am curious what you all think. My current utilization percentage after some CLDs is 68%. My latest fico scores are:

 

TU - 670

EQ - 686

 

AAoA is 4.5 years.

 

If I can get my utilization below 10% in the next couple months, what kinda score range would you expect?

 

 


Starting Score: 627 EQ, 621 TU - 11/15/08
Current Score: 778 EQ, 781 TU, 778 EXP 07/20/12 Lender Pull
Goal Score: 800 EQ & TU

Re: Utilization Effect on Score

If you have a great mix of credit (at least 2 revolving CCs with a charge card (store, gas, etc.)), then I'd guess that both of your scores, with all things being equal, will hit very close to 730-760. Maybe a hair more on the sliding scale if all of your cards are carrying a balance or if any are maxed out.

Yes, I do have 2 revolving CCs (amex and chase) and 1 store card (kohls).  Thanks for your input, I can't wait to get this stuff paid off.
