In September, Trans stated that my husband's credit score was 610. Fast forward to today and it's now 720.

What in the world could have given us a 100+ credit boost? We did purchase a used vehicle and currently paying on a car loan in September but I figured that would lower the credit not boost it. We also maxed our only CC that has a $500 CL with a $500 purchase but PIF a week later ( I wanted to see if doing this would get cap1's attention and boost our limit).

Any explanation? Not upset just curious. Would love to see it jump more!
