Balance increase and my fico score rose

[stpn2me]

Hey guys,

I awoke this morning and this greeted me in my email...

There are a few changes to your credit report today:

• An account shows a balance increase.

Also, your FICO� score has increased by 7

My Eq is now 630, up from 653. After the apping spree I did in Jan, my score is finally coming back up. The balance increase was $153 balance on my JCPenney card, CL of $4000.

Can any of you tell me the the email address the alerts come from.  I have not gotten any for two months so would like to add to my address book in case they are going to my spam folder.

Mine showed a pay down of my CCs...and a 41 point increase!!!!  My equifax went from 655 to 696, Woo hoo!!!!  My transunion from 668 to 704 and I haven't check my ex since it was 716 already.  It only took 2 months for all my balances to show they were paid down.  I was so excited, I finally decided to refi my car loan (bought 1 1/2 ago with 16.75%...yikes) I just got approved for a 3 year at 6.75%.   Life with better credit is amazing!!!! 

Love credit alerts!!!

I think it was called "Score Watch" and it follows EQ....

Can anyone else correct me?
