Improving my score

So I am 4 years post bk, credit score of about 700. I have 12 revolvers, all zero or low utilization on 4(1 is AU) cards. I have student loans(all at 100%+ utilization, all positive) and some closed(and positive) installment loans. My bk included 4 accounts and thus negative items are on 4 revolvers, theres also a 90 day late payment from 6 years ago. I have 3 inquiries in the past year, AAoA is 4 years, Oldest Revolver is 8(or 17 if you count AUs), youngest revolver is 6 months.

 

Any possible way I can get my score up to 740 in a year?

Re: Improving my score

I think you'll be in the ballpark, 720-ish.  I finished my CH13 in 2018 and they fell off my reports this year.  However, I tried but couldn't get my FICO 8 scores above 730 while my BK was reporting.  Everything else was clean.  You'll see a bump once the 90-day late comes off.  I think the highest I got was 726 on Experian FICO 8.

Well, 720 on fico 8 should be good enough for a mortgage if I wanted one right? Smiley Tongue I know my mortgage scores are 720s rn, I figure they'd be 760 if my fico 8 is 740.

Once this falls off. Theres a bunch of points. Whats the low util on the 4 cards %'s? And you aggregate util %.

Re: Improving my score

total utilization is 2%, on the now 3(2 without AU) cards they are all <9% except 1 which is <20%
