I was wondering how to raise my credit score to a atleast 625 by november, currently I have 565 TU 558 EX and EQ 576 I have one revolving credit First Premier and a Ttibute cc that is close that i am still paying the balance on. How many revolving credit accounts should i have. I only at the max get ten points a month from both cards. Please help

Re: How to raise my score

Are those scores your real (FICO) scores? Where did you get them?
 
Can someone with a long credit history - and good scores - add you as an AU on one or more of their accounts?
 
Since it appears you have only 2 cards, get you balances to < 10%, preferably < 3%. Have 1 of your 2 cards show a zero balance.

TC gives out FAKO scores.  Pull your scores from this site.  You might be suprised by the difference.  Hopefully a plus in your favor.
 
Good luck

Yep. YMMV, but by TU FICO score has been as much as 90 points higher than my TC FAKO score. But ignore the scores and advice from TC.

My TC scores are almost 100 points lower than myfico scores also.  Only use TC to monitor changes to my report.
