45 pt jump for getting cc util from 111% to 63%

[Anonymous]

I received a 45 point jump on my eq score when two of my credit cards reported the new and improved balances.   I am waiting for the other 2 cards to report so it will kill the remainng 63% util%.  Any guesses, on how many points will come of this, going from 63-3% util?

That's great!   I have no idea how many pts go up, but  sure about it there will be significant changes on your new score.

You may want to change your Goal Score to 800.

Thanks for the reply.  I would love to change my goal score to 800, and I may even get there one day but, I am thinking  in terms of over the next year or so.  I am hoping by the time I go and purchase a house in the next 5 years, that i will be close to 800.  I am hoping to get a 40-60 pt raise so that I get to enjoy some lower rates when I go to the credit union and apply for my new auto loan next month(BMW).

If I read right, you have 4 CCs. If so, then I bet you'd see a 55-70 point jump if you got 3 to report $0 with the other reporting a balance of under 9%.

Right llecs,  I have 4 cards and 2 of them will report a 0 bal.  The other two are old 1st premiers that are about to reach 4-5 years in age and no matter how many times I pay the full bal. they always report a $7.00 bal  I hope it is a 55-70 pt jump that would put me right at the score that I need to purchase the car I want @ ok interest rates.  When I say ok, the 1st car I bought in 2008 was @ 21% so 6-9% will look great considering what I've been through.  Maybe my auto enhanced score will be a tad higher than my traditional score, and that would really influence the approval and the interest rates.

So they charge a 7 dollar monthly fee after the statements cut? You might need to dump one or both of them.

I had the same issue with Credit One, before I killed them off. I tried to overpay on their website but that didn't work so I used my bank's billpay service and overpaid via that to force in a $0 balance.

As soon as my reports and scores are strong enough to dump them then I will,  I have had one of the cards for almost three years and no derogs reporting, actually for the last 4 years, I have been derog free, and in just 2 years all of my current derogs will be gone.  Yep, everything bad hit my credit report at once, and everything will most likely fall off at once.  Thanks guys, I am looking for a pretty decent jump 55-70 ponts would put me at a 652-667 respectively, and maybe my enhanced auto fico will be even higher.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying everyday.
