Re: My scores wont stay up

For optimal scoring, seek AZEO All Zero Except One card reporting a small balance.

 

Is there any derogatory or delinquency that is suppressing your scores?

 

I would recommend reading the below from ABCD2199

Welcome to the forum @Anonymous 

 

First, in order to help you we need to know where you are getting your scores from (Experian, MyFico -actual Fico score or someplace like creditkarma - VantageScore).

 

Your actual Fico scores.

 

It will also help to know some details of your credit profile: Age of oldest account (AoOA), age of youngest account (AoYA), average age of accounts (AAoA).

Any negative information contained on your reports (can be found by requesting a free copy of your reports from https://www.annualcreditreport.com/ ).

 

More information may be requested based on your responses, but this should at least provide some insight as to what suggestions to offer to help reach your scoring goals.

You don't need professional help.

 

Our amateur help will be better.

 

Just give us some detail about your cards and limits and we'll probably be able to help you fix it Smiley Happy
