What type of increase can I expect now with everything being paid down?
Thanks for the help
I think you will see a big jump if you get under 1200.00 owed or better yet 650.00 owed.
That will bring your utli down were fico likes it.
paying off all your credit cards will show a huge jump in scores....
Also, try to get rid of any negatives in your report by GW or PIF methods.

This seems like a long process to see the point jumps. We are trying to get construction mortgage for a mobile home we are buying brand new. So I need the scores to come up quick any sugestions on how to get abig score jump quick?
Ok so I got a little discouraged. I have paid everything down noticed the chages in my EQ CR and still no score change at all DW and I are trying so hard and I have heard of people getting big jumps in scores right away but for her and I nothing is happening. We need to be in the 620 range within the next 2-3 months. We have paid everything. I went from the FCO saying bad debt to now saying I have good payment history, good reduced debt and even good amt of credit but only bad on the lenth of credit. I feel as if I will never get to be above the "hump" anyone have any advice?
