Letting a small balance report on one card should boost your scores. I let $10 report on one card, while all others report $0. #AZEO
Your scores are good! Do you have a goal score? It sounds like you're doing at least the most important things right...payment history, amount of debt isn't too high, your length of credit history may need to increase; also, credit mix is also a factor. Do you have any installment loans? I think you'll just have to keep doing what your doing and time will help improve your score.
Definitely leave a small balance reporting on one card. You might gain anywhere from 15 to 25 points depending on other factors in your profile.
Also look at your credit mix and other scoring segments and review the negative reason codes to see what might be affecting your scores.
I never had any car or house payments yet, the only thing on my report is all cards.
I would like to acheive 800 across all three on Fico 8.
To achieve 800 I would look closely at the components of the fico score and look at any negative reason codes. Credit Mix would be 10% of your score, so you are losing some points here not having any installment loans.
Check the form for SSL loans, which can help you build up the installment loan part of your score. I am not that familiar with these, but I've seen some posts where loans are available that allow you to pay down to 9% remaining on the loan, which would maximize your installment loan score. This would also improve your mix.
Good luck. You have a good profile and should be able to reach 800 with a few adjustments.
@nwa479, I was going to suggest the same thing, PenFed and Navy Fed both have SSLs available which allow prepayment which in turn pushes out the next due date months, or years as the case may be, into the future.
