Seriously? You started at 414 and are up to 536 in less than a year? That is something you should be VERY proud of!!!!! Wow what an encouragement. I've been working on mine almost as long, as so far have only managed around a 15 point increase. LOL AWESOME JOB!
Thanks!!! I've become obsessed with my credit!!! I read all the posts on this forum for advice & I can honestly say that I borderline harrass companies until I get results!!! LOL!!!

That's great. I am the same way. I have a huge 3"+ binder JUST for tracking my credit report fixing. LOL I have copies of all 3 credit reports printed inside with dividers- and a spreadsheet where i write the accounts and what action i'm taking etc... so I can track EVERYTHING. I also stick in copies of the letters I've sent and responses etc. It's helped so much- otherwise I don't know how I would be able to keep sense of this madness. LOL I literally have 30 tradelines I'm working on. YIKES!
I wouild also remove yourself as an authorized user on the Wlamart and Continentla cards if possible. These will not help your credit utiilzation at all.
I like your spreadsheet OP
May I use it for my template to keep organize?
This is amazing!
Congrats on all of your efforts. It is paying off!
And the spreadsheet is awesome!!
GEMB/ Chevron dropped of EQ this morning..... WooooooHooooooo!!!!!!! No alerts YET!!!
I actually just paid the balance on the Walmart card down to $250 (Updates @ the 10th) & the Continental Finance to $200 (Updates @ the 19th).... I'll probably see a few points from that too!!!!

Ha - me too! I'm totally obsessed w/ my credit. I got the house, now I'm working on GW'ing the cussword out of the two local CA's that are listing my medical collections. (all paid btw). I don't even know what to do w/ myself now that I'm not house-freaked.
WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't see any alerts for GEMB/Chevron falling off yesterday so I became curious!!!! I gave in & bought my updated CR on here........... EQ up to 561!!!!!!! ![]()
That's 25 points!!!!!!!!!! 36 points total in 3 days!!!!!!!!!! ![]()
All that & I still have:
1. My 2nd to last collection that's being deleted due to PFD in a few days
2. Balances need to update
3. 3 inquiries falling off in the next week or so.......
I should see the same kind of boost for EX & TU in the next week or so............ Happy Dance!!!!!! ![]()

I just got off the phone with EX trying to find out when GEMB/Chevron will fall off & they said it's actually showing as a positive tradeline & it's not scheduled to fall off until 09/2018????? What the heck?? ![]()
They did process the removal of 2 inquiries due to fall off 09/02/11 & 09/10/11 since the usually take up to the following month to come off.... Pretty nice of them.... ![]()
