Will I be in the 700 Club by end of month or mid February?

Good Morning Forum supporters,

Does this look like I have a chance for the 700 club soon?

Here is how it breaks down as of today:

Target 20.99% $200 zero bal
Walmart 19.87% $330 zero bal
Avenue 22.80% $470 zero bal
Upromise Citibank 13.24% $2800 zero bal
Orchard Bank 14.90% $700 zero bal (limit increased by $200 after last payment a week ago)
Ikea 19.90% $100 zero bal
Capital One 12.40% $3000 $75 bal (new charge on Wednesday)
Children's Place 21.96% $250 zero bal (credit of $22..did not notice i had overpaid)


Americredit 13% $25000 remaining truck loan bal
Sallie Mae Career Training Loan 11.5% $7200 bal
Sallie Mae Federal Loans 5.375% $25596 (unemployment deferment)

all accounts as of date is current and up to date. Just making under $100 charges, so i am able to PIF every month. As you can see by my signature my scores are going up. Do anyone think i may have a chance? because once i find a job I would like to refinance my truck for lower payments.

You don't mention payment history, past derogs, average age and length of credit, new accounts in last year, new inquires in last year, etc.

 

You'll probably get a bump with the low balances, but the devil's in the above, especially past payment history. 

 

Any more info on that stuff?

To answer your questions:

 

Payment history: except for Sallie Mae career training loan(been current for the past few months) have not been past due in 2 years on any accounts. My credit history is 20 years old. The low balances because I have been rebuilding my credit for the last 2 years. Only one new credit and that is target card last september to add to my mix of revolving store credit. Currently all my reports show I only have 5 inquiries and 3 are due to come off this summer. But as you can see from my scores that have risen 178 pts in that last few months. All I need is about 40 - 50pts to get into the 700 club. Just trying to see what else I need to do to get those points.
