I have a current balance of about 2400 on a 3000 limit and a 400 balance on a 900 limit.  I got all 3 scores from True Credit?  My husband & I want to purchase a house in about a year and I am trying to get my scores up-his are above 700.

 

Getting your utilization down will help a lot!  Right now you're showing 3900 in CL's and 2800 in balances.  To figure your utl, divide the balances by the CL.  Your utl is at 71.8%.  (2800 / 3900= 71.79)  Ideally, it should be 9-10%.  Start by paying those down as fast as you can and you should see a pretty good jump in your scores. You'll also save a lot in the way of interest.
