Woo Hoo! Major payoff of revolving...Point increase?

I was just able to pay off about 20k in revolving debt in a single hit!  Has anyone been able to do this, and what increase can I expect from this? I am currently at MyFICO of 716...The only baddie's I have are 2 paid tax liens that were paid in 2008 and 2010 respectively, so the impact of those is rapidly diminishing. I'm keeping a small balance on one card to maximize scoring...Now to wait until the cc companies update...

Congrats, not sure but I'm thinking big (50+). I know it must feel great, when i paid off all my credit card debt it felt like a great weight lifted off me.

I'd guess 60-80 on your EQ FICO, and less on EX and TU. ETA...provided util is the #1 neg. ETA#2...and provided none are closed CCs.

 

Congrats on the debt paydown.
