Your FICO® score went up on a day when there were no credit alerts on your Equifax Credit Report™.

Could this be do to the car loan I just recieved Yesterday????? I thought my score would go down, but this is my first auto loan if that matters any.....I do have 2 med collections on my equifax but I doubt that they have fallen off(07-08 accounts)...And my chase and walmart card still have the same balance as before....

Well surely, if the auto loan had somehow already managed to report, that would have triggered a credit alert (new account posting.) So although your score might increase from the addition to the credit mix, that seems contradictory.

Did any other accounts have a birthday? (go over a year old) --inquiries go over a year, etc.

btw, by how much did your score increase?
