Thanks everyone. Broke 700 today on my Equifax report. Hopefully TU and EX aren't far behind. I wouldn't have seen this much movement so quickly without the advice and help of everyone on this forum.

Congrats... I'm jealous...i'm only 16 points away.......I'm waiting for three new accounts to hit the report. Hopefully they'll all report tonight....

Maybe the credit gods will smile on me and with the combination of 3 new accounts, reduced AAoA, adding one month aging to my other accounts on 09/01, and the decreased utilization that my score stays about the same....keeping fingers crossed.

The three inquiries didn't hurt a bit.... with 24 already on EQ, I don't think FICO cares anymore

If you dont mind sharing, what moves did you make that took you from mid 600's to 700? this is my goal by the end of the year, and i added 4 new trade lines to help me (opposed to 1 sub prime toy limit trade line). This should motivate me.

I am 5 points-count 'em-5 points away from 700 on my EQ. So close I can taste it. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can't wait to sit at around 780/800...that's my ultimate goal

CONGRATS2U!!!

Was going to start this thread myself tonight in fact. Found out that I just broke 700 on my Experian score with at 713. TU and EQ are taking what feels to be years to remove a recent deleted account. Like Heinz ketchup "Anticipation is making me wait....."

Thanks! Pulled EQ on 9/1 and jumped to 731. Midland collection account was deleted. Had an app spree on Saturday so my score dropped to 720 but I will take it. My uti will drop once my new accounts report and I'm hoping for a little boost.

TU just updated my deleted CO from I. C. Systems. I'm at 712 at TU as well. Waiting on slowpose EQ before I declare the trifecta!

Many great posts on this board helped me to even think about how to improve my score or to even care about my actions as they relate to credit. Alot of income helped me to gloss over some very simple mistakes.
