Hey guys I've been repairing my own credit for about 4 months now ...
like most I'm older and fixing my mistakes!
My Experian Fico started at 556 and I started by paying down all my credit cards
OpenSky : $250 cl
Cap 1: $2200 cl
Credit One: $600 cl
Self Lender: $800 cl
I also had two collections that I paid and are now deleted!
My Experian Fico is now 612
Now all I have are some late payments that I've sent some letters on. Hoping the card co extend some grace and remove but not holding my breath! Other than that I don't know what else I can do. Any recommendations or helpful tips. I also have two charge offs with NFCU and First Premier that I have agreed to settle for the full balance and paid. Once they report as paid will that help my revolving utilization?
How much is owed on each of the accounts you gave credit limits for?
Nothing but $100 on capital one
Whats holding you up in the baddie dept?
The charge offs? I paid them but they haven't updated on my report yet..
Wait till then. Once they are all 0'ed out on all 3 reports. Your aggregate util % will drop. Monthly updating will cease. And then the score rise.
