Re: Expanded "FICO High Achievers" (scores of 760 and above) characteristics list

My FICO 08 on Equifax has been 767 for about a month. My overall utilization is just under 10% percent. Length of credit history is 2 years and 7 months, and AAoA about 1 year and 6 months. 13 open credit cards, 1 closed credit card, 1 auto loan. Several inquiries from looking for auto loans in February. Once these inquiries drop off, I'm hoping to crack the 780's.

This is the FICO 08 though. On FICO 04, I'd be lucky to be in the 740's. My score watch score went up about 50 points when the scoring model changed.

I am getting so close to the 800 club but keep falling short.  Hopefully by next month, I might finally crack the barrier.  I'll have my UTIL down to 1% which is way better than 47% about a year ago.  I paid almost $20K to get to where I am today.  I still have one late payment showing up on my CR from 02/2009.  Next year, this will fall off and should definitely put me over the top for sure.

I lokked at my credit scores at Karma.com and I know that they use something different , but similiar to Fico. They have the same credit information on me that Fico has. I have low 600 scores with Fico and very high scores with Kredit Karma. It is not a small difference. What is going on? I hope that I am posting this message in the right place.

bca:

 

You're in the right category if you have FICO scores of 760 or higher.  If not, . . . there are other categories to select from.

 

When contemplating a loan for an auto, mortgage, or other major purchase, most of the lenders consider FICO scores to qualify for a loan.  I don't know why you would have such a diverse score from CreditKarma, if both have the same information.  Perhaps they use different criteria in scoring.

Re: Expanded "FICO High Achievers" (scores of 760 and above) characteristics list

Hi Guys,

 

Just wanted to share my joy, my scores just got updated and my 
EQ FICO: 811
TU FICO: 819

Credit history: 6 years
Average account age: 3 years

Obviously the thing that's hurting my score the most is the credit history length (fair) and the average account age.

Couldn't be happier Smiley Happy ... well I could be, but I am working on it... I just can't beat time Smiley Happy

EQ FICO 827
TU FICO 836
EX FICO 824
Credit history of 6 years only!!!

My TU 767, EX 773 and EQ 744.

I have been in the USA less than a year. TU and EQ scores don't include any of the cards in my signature as they aren't reporting. EQ includes my Discover reporting.

Finally checked my scores today and they are something shout about.  Takes due dilligence.  (sp?)

 

EQ - 850;  EX - 850;  TU - 850.   FICO 8 is 850.

 

I couldn't copy that neat display page with the scores, so there it is.  Been anticipating this since I found Myfico.
