Question: Do scores jump after...

SinCityPaladin · ‎06-12-2021

...the one-year DC anniversary (BK7)? My scores went up the day after DC. They went up again the day after my one-year filing anniversary a couple months ago in April. July 13 will mark one year post-DC, and I'm wondering if a bump up will happen the following day. Anyone know what's what here?

Appreciate any info anyone can share.

@SinCityPaladin, this isn't a direct 1 to 1 comparison, but one year after my Chaper 13 discharge my scores didn't move even a single point.

I categorically refuse to do AZEO!

@Horseshoez Bummer. I figured that might be the case as searches in myFICO and Google didn't yield any useful information. Thanks for chiming in!

your scores will go up slightly each year depending on other factors as well like overall utilization, INQ/new accounts, any negatives post DC, etc.. It will not be huge jumps, but you'll see a gradual increase over the years.

I had the same experience. I never got a point jump on any specific anniversary dates. I got a huge jump the day I filed and no gain the day of discharge. Other increases happened at random times.

I've been having huge score bumps recently after months and months of barely increasing that much. I went up 17 points out of nowhere on Experian today. Transunion was a 14 point bump. This was two years after filing. YMMV.
