Need your opinions

I have had 1 30-day late entry on Cap One in April 2013. Following are the credit cards:

 

Cap. 1 - Zero Balance - $500 Credit Limit

Cap.1 - Platinum - Zero Balance - $2200 Credit Limit

Discover - Zero Balance - $3000 Credit Limit

 

Current Fico - 671 (Transunion) on 3/18/2014

 

My card utilization was 48% in February 2014. But since then all cards are at zero or may be $10 (Less than 1 % ).

 

Had one Bank of America MC that was closed in 2009. I paid that in full in 2009. BoFA closed it.

 

How long will it take for my FICO score to hit the magic 700 Fico mile marker.

 

I really appreciate your input and thank you in advance.

There is no magic timeline in the game of credit, no one can answer the question. If you want to gain a few points I would let one of those revolvers report a balance of 1-9% of its CL to the CRAs, 0 on all scores at 30% utilization. I would be GW letter writing on that late and planning a mini spree to get some more bankcards (3-4) would be good, I would be looking at a few CUs as they tend to give you a higher initial CL, NFCU is good if you can get in.

Goodwill letters. 

Asking them to do your a favor to do away with either your late or something other.

GOAL - 700 FICO across the board!
