How are you monitoring your mortgage scores? On MyFICO they only update when you pull your report.

 

I can tell you right off the bat that your revolving utilization is quite high and is no doubt crushing your mortgage scores.

Re: Mortgage Scores Not Rising

The comments above are correct, your revolving utilization needs to be paid down.  Once you do this you'll see a boost on your FICO mortgage scores.   AZEO as mentioned is the best approach to maximize your score.
