Your TransUnion FICO® score is great

  • FICO® Scores range between 300 and 850
  • Higher scores are better scores
  • The higher your score, the more favorably lenders look upon you as a credit risk

Your TransUnion FICO® score is based on the information in your TransUnion credit report. Below are factors in your credit report that are hurting or helping your score:

FICO® Score How Lenders See You
760

A FICO® score of 760 is above average. Most lenders would consider scores in this range as excellent, and an indication that you are a very dependable borrower. Based on your score alone, you might expect the following:

  • It is very unlikely your application for credit cards or for a mortgage or auto loan would be turned down, based on your score alone.
  • You should be able to obtain relatively high credit limits on your credit card.
  • Most lenders will consider offering you their most attractive and most competitive rates.
  • Many lenders will also offer you special incentives and rewards targeted to their "best" customers.

Inquiries

You have no inquiries affecting your FICO® score.

 

 

An inquiry indicates when a business, usually a lender, has checked your credit. The inquiries listed here are the number of times in the 12 months prior to the date of this report that a lender has checked your credit at TransUnion. Most likely, these inquiries appear because you applied for credit with that lender. Inquiries associated with applying for new credit are typically the only kind of inquiry that will impact your FICO® score.

Having multiple inquiries can hurt your FICO® score because research has shown that multiple inquiries can represent greater risk to a lender. A single inquiry, however, will have little or no impact on your score. In general, inquiries contribute to less than 10% of your FICO® score.

Excellent work!  Congratulations!

 

Looks like you have several cards (7, if my eyes are working properly) that are reporting small balances.  If you PIF most of these before the statement cuts, and leave a small balance on one of your credit cards (small enough that the individual card's utilization isn't too high), then you may see a further boost in your score.

Re: I FINALLY MADE IT TO 760 FICO!!!

Once you see your TU with one CC reporting a small balance and if yu have installment loans, try letting 0% report to see if you have any change.  TU likes when I have 0% CC util since I have a autoloan and a mortgage,  If it doesn't have a positive effect, then it is easy to let a small balance report the following month.  EQ dings me a few poins on 0% CC util so you will have to balance both.

Given enough time and high enough AAofA you can score well over 800 without either

Unless it made financial sense I would not do that. A small car loan would have the same result. I guess you might need one of those before too many years.
