Thanks for your prompt and precise response.

My focus has increasingly turned to the two year window. I have no EQ or TU inquiries within this window and also no EX inquiries within the one year window. No new card credit within the two year window, just an installment loan outside the one year window. So if my card utilization is okay by the end of the summer next year and the installment loan has been paid down, I'm clean as a whistle. But then what do I have to look forward to?
