BK drops today, score increased 80 pts

Hi to all, 

 

While I am still a newbie, I have read a lot on this forum.  In my reading I know a lot of people have asked how much does your score increase after a bk drops off of your report.  Well, mine dropped off today and I am very happy to report that my score increased 80 pts on one of my reports.  Needless to say, I was a little shocked and very happy.  I know this increase isnt carved in stone for everyone, but I just thought I would share it and hope that it helps in some way.

Re: BK drops today, score increased 80 pts

When you stated that the bk dropped off, do you mean dropped completely off your report or do you mean that it had reached the two year discharge date?? If you do mean that it dropped off, as in completely deleted from your credit report, do you remember how your score was affected when you reached your two year discharge date?

Hi Tray,  Thanks for the congrats.  I found out from my credit union when I was  there on other business.  It was from EX.  It was a long 10 yrs, well they took it off 2 months early.  So now I am waiting for EQ and TU, they are suppose to drop off by July 1.  I am still on cloud nine getting rid of that heavy load of 10 yrs.  I know you will be just as happy when yours drops off too.  And an early congrats to you too.  thanks again for the congrats.

Re: BK drops today, score increased 80 pts

Hi gettingitright.

 

The bk dropped off completely from ex, 2 months shy of 10 yrs.  I can not tell you what my score was way back at the 2 yr time because I was not following my credit reports or scores at that time.  All I can tell you is that when the credit union pulled my ex in march of this year my  score was 703.  When the bk dropped off a couple of days ago it went to 783.  Needless to say, I was surprised and elated.  I cant wait to see what my FICO scores will be come July 1st when my bk drops off of EQ and TU.   I am hoping they wont drag it out beyond that date.  Hope this  info helps you and the other members.

Hi IIlecs

 

Thanks for the congrats.  I am pumped up!!  I have my sites on the big 800 now.  I never thought I would get this far.  Getting my first secured cc helped too.  That took me from I think 672 to 703.  When the other two cra's drop my bk's, I am going shopping for a couple more cc's.  Smiley Wink

Re: BK drops today, score increased 80 pts

Wow!  That's something to look forward too.  Congratulations!!!!!

 

My Chaper 7 BK was dischared in 2002 and I can't wait for it to fall off.  Just a few more years to go. I've done a good job at rebuilding my credit these past 7 years and now up to 708.   You've given me something to look forward to. 

 

You've done a fantastic job and should be very proud.

Re: BK drops today, score increased 80 pts

was it worth it for you to file BK? i am debating....i know you said you waited that 10 years with anticipation for it to come off your report. while on your report did it prevent you from many things that you wish you knew or were you in a better situation be debt free?
