Hi Everyone!
My goals are as follows by EOY 22:
- 650+ Fico Score
- Keep all CC utilization below <10%
- Graduate both secured credit cards to unsecured
- Become approved for AMEX card
- Become approved from First TIme Home Loan/Investor's Loan
Let's make it happen!
Have you looked into upstart? It is a loan to pay off all your cards in one affordable monthly payment and an end date instead of a constant interest payment. If you do this your utilization will drop to under 10% if you do the loan at the proper amount and your score should see a good increase. You will probably see a drop until the cards show paid and you are 3+ months into the loan. Imho.
Hey everyone! I've been lurking and sporadically posting elsewhere in the community since February. I am aiming to get my credit scores up this year and hopefully get a travel card as my next TL, saving more money, and trying to reach my overall goal of being solidly in the Good category and not just on the fringe. As a result I've got lots of gardening to do! I wish everyone the best on their journey. DP's are as follows:
1. FICO 8's: EX 674 / EQ 679 / TU 674 & FICO 9 = 691
2. DTI: 22%
3. Utilization: 3% (It was 4% on 5/2 but Discover reported on 5/4 so it dropped)
4. Credit mix Good: 2 cc's, 4 Student loans, 1 mortgage
5. last baddie: Oct 2021(student loans)
6. 1 Medical collection @ $124 - Did PFD this week

I'm in the process of buying a home (currently in escrow).
Fico 8 EQ 685, TU 703, EX 675
Fico 9 EQ 713, TU 708, EX 696
Fico 10 EQ 725, TU 689, EX 692
My mortgage scores are 692, 711 and 703.
My 2022 goals are:
1) Buy a home
2) 740 or higher Fico 8 score across all CBs. I just paid off my final baddie, Chase auto recovery.
3) Navy Fed Visa Sig CLI to $15,000
Starting Score: 589
