Great score boost

One collection finally came off my EQ and noticed that my score went from 747 to 781.

 

Also some of my cards hit their 1 year mark last month, so that could also have contributed.

 

I started rebuilding end of  2010 and my EQ was 515 then. A long but great journey.

 

 

Now if TU could update

Re: Great score boost

Hi I'm all new to this credit rebuilding thing. Can I ask how did you achieve this? Also, how can a collection drop off the record? I'm having the same problem here.

 

Thanks a lot!

Re: Great score boost

Thanks everyone. I wouls say a lot of my inspiration came from the people on here. It's a great support group to learn and stay consistent.

 

My job is still not over yet, I want to be at least close to the 800 scores but that will probably be in another year or 2.

 

It's definitely a long journey but well worth it. I came here with a total credit limit of $1900 to now well over $100K

 

Thank you all for the support
