my score is soaring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aug 1, 2007, my scores were: Trans=685, Equifax=664, Exper=651
 
Sept 7, 2007, my scores were: Trans=764, Equifax=718, Exper=703
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apr 9, 07, was my worse recently: Trans=759, Equifax=651, Exper=660
 
this was when i had my credit cards generally maxed because at 0% to 5%, and i have several new mortgages.
 
in May 07, I paid down 110k of debt, but didn't know i needed to pay down my credit cards, and my scores became: Trans=685, Equifax=664, Exper=651....and stayed to Aug 1, 07....then....
 
on Aug 2, 07, i paid down 245k worth of debt, but still not my credit cards, and my scores....
 
August 13, 07 were: Trans=783, Equifax=668, Exper=654......notice the last 2 mainly care about credit cards
 
then i paid down my credit cards from 99% to under 30% utilization (except for a 50.5k at 3% loan, i paid that down to 25k for under 50% utilization)....then:
 
August 17, 07 my scores were: Trans=783, Equifax=687, Exper=665
 
Sept 7, 07 my scores were: Trans=764, Equifax=718, Exper=703
 
*****Equifax jumped the days listed above, since i have an alert e-mail w/ them only.....the Trans and experian scores are from my checking them on the day equifax jumped.

I think this goes to prove that the single most important thing a person can do to increase scores is to reduce debt utilization %.

Re: my score is soaring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

editted to correct when my recent low was....
 
Aug 1, 2007, my scores were: Trans=685, Equifax=664, Exper=651
 
Sept 7, 2007, my scores were: Trans=764, Equifax=718, Exper=703
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 4, 07, was my lowest recently: Trans=684, Equifax=651, Exper=651
 
this was when i had my credit cards generally maxed because of interest rates on them of 0% to 5%, and i have several new mortgages.
 
in May 07, I paid down 110k of debt due to the sale of a house, but didn't know i needed to pay down my credit cards, and my scores became: Trans=685, Equifax=664, Exper=651....and stayed to Aug 1, 07....then....
 
on Aug 2, 07, i paid down 245k worth of debt due to the sale of another house, but still not my credit cards, except these cc reported that:
 
Aug 9, 07, Cap1 statement closing date (= date reported?)  that i paid it down from 56% utilization to 29%
Aug 12, 07, Amex closing date (= date reported?)  that i paid it down from 91% to 29%
Aug 12, 07, Discover closing date (= date reported?) that i paid it down from 93% to 29%
 
and my Equifax alert said my scores....
 
August 13, 07 were: Trans=783, Equifax=668, Exper=654......notice the last 2 mainly care about credit cards since these credit card reports were brand new and maybe didn't count yet.
 
then Equifax alert said:
 
August 17, 07 my scores were: Trans=783, Equifax=687, Exper=665
 
Aug 18, 07, Chase closing date that i paid it down from 60% to 29%
Aug 28, 07, Bank One closing date that i paid it down from 80% to 29%
Sept 2, 07, Wachovia closing date that i paid it down from 97% to 49%.....only on I didn't pay down to under 30% because the debt was 50k
 
Sept 7, 07 my scores were: Trans=764, Equifax=718, Exper=703
 
*****Equifax jumped the days listed above, since i have an alert e-mail w/ them only.....the Trans and experian scores are from my checking them on the day equifax jumped.
