FICO® Score Summary

Your score is well above the average score of U.S. consumers and clearly demonstrates to lenders that you are an exceptional borrower.
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 ingredients How you rateYour history of paying bills on time.
Your total amount of outstanding debt.
How long you've had credit.
Amount of credit you've recently obtained or applied for.
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:
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.

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.
