Paid off all of my CCs except one

It's bonus time of the year for me. I had accumulated some debt over the last year and this morning I paid it all off, except one just because it's auto-paid every month and I didn't want my total utilization to drop to 0%.

 

I was at 54% total utilization and my scores were holding steady at 675-680 (actual FICOs).

 

Time to kick back and relax.

Wow... congrats on the milestone. Be sure to report back with your new scores once all is updated at the bureaus.  I love this stuff.

I will update once I see the updates to my CRs. It should be get me into the 700s without much trouble.

A year from now my ch13 falls off and that should get me closer to 800.
