Congratulations and thank you! When I hear stories about increases like that it's very encouraging to me. I know time should be my BFF, but I'm so terribly impatient,and want to see results now.

That's a lot of progress in a short time. Congrats! Any details on how you got the scores moving up so quickly?

Re: Creeping up slowly...but surely....

Well, I paid $14,000 to my revolving .....taking it down from a  103% to  21% total UTL when all is reported( come on, come on, come on!) only $3,000 is reporting as of today though so $11,000 to  still report in. 
 
That leaves me with 5 of 11 open accounts with an avg per card UTIL of 7-9 % with the exception of one at 69%..the rest are at a $0 balance
 
My credit mix is a mortgage, a HELOC reporting as real estate, mix of store cc's,  Visa cc's,  and MC cc's, 1 install account and a paid auto loan
 
The $$$ I paid down with was not a new loan...was cash....
 
I  had 1 Unauth Hard Inq from my idiot credit union deletes...a non PP pull that came off today and I still have 1 Unauth Hard Inq per CRA to come off from Quicken Loans, another Non PP pull...they re-ran my CR a month after I inquired about a refi...with out ASKING ME FIRST!  Not only are they removing on Monday or Tuesday, but they ar re-imbursing me the $47.85 I  had to pay for my 3 scores/reports when the alert hit on a new Inq...the check was sent 3/11/08.....
 
I also GW'd a med coll due to drop off 11/08- no response yet
 
Disputed 2 30 day and 2 60 day lates that I KNOW I didnt have because I have auto bill pay-no repsonse yet...shoudl have info by 3/29-4/15 depending on which CRA you ask
 
So there is still a long way to go for all to report as I hope...Ijust hope I go up, up up without a rebucket!!!

Nice. Those almost resemble what my scores have been doing.

Re: Creeping up slowly...but surely....

congrats! I love seeing others raising their scores too! I am waiting another week or so to see how much mine jumped(if any) after getting a few things deleted!

Re: Creeping up slowly...but surely....

Great Job!
 
I'm going to guess we're in similar buckets (grin).  Like you I am impatient; I want to see results!
 
Paying down UTL to <50% this month, with any luck it will be a watershed and I'll see another significant bump in scores by the end of April.

Re: Creeping up slowly...but surely....

congrats! There's nothing like reducing util to get that score zoom. Hope everything updates soon!

I like the idea of an Impatient Bucket. Smiley Happy
