I need to break that 650 barrier as soon as I can. Now since December I've gotten three new cards-Open Sky, Cap 1 Quicksilver one, and Discover secured. I also was approved for Genesis credit for some furniture. I am hoping now that with four credit cards, the Genesis credit for furniture and two baddies(one drops off in Nov) that my score will rise.
But why did my score drop 25 points???
BINGO! Never have all your cards show 0 balance. Always have 1 report 2-4% each month. FICO penalizes you for having no credit use. It will bounce back. There is no memory month to month. Dont know your CL's or number of cards. As we say here. AZEO always. All Zero Except One. Pick 1 to report and the points will come back.
Call Genesis and ask if they list their loans as a consumer finance account on your credit report. If so. FICO doesnt like CFA's. But more than likely its the no cards reported a balance. And side note. No more apping if you need that score jump. Good Luck!
