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.

* I went about 20 years without credit cards bc I had ruined my financial health back in 99 as a junior in college. Never thought a creditor would touch me again but somehow I had the courage to apply for a card in 2019 when I turned 40. More mature and with much better financial literacy, things changed for the better.
