Thank you, I just tried this and it worked for two out of the 3. EQ is making me wait. I only have 3 more months before it falls off but the other two went up nearly 80points and transunion was almost instantly removed like you said! 


Nice work. A nominal 80 point gain is rather typical but can be half that depending on file specifics as mentioned by @FireMedic1 .

Wow, scores go up that far 10 years later? A lot of filers rebuild their credit over those ten years and have scores well into the 700s. Going up 80 points can take them into the 800s. That is crazy.

Building off of this question, points gradually increase as time goes on and the credit profiles are rebuilt. How about after the baddies fall off at 7 years? I still have 18 months to go for that but an planning on trying for EEs a few months before the 7 year mark. What should I expect after those fall off? And then it will be 3 more years to the finish line!

Re: Point increase after Bankruptcy falls off??

In the 2010s liens were part of credit reports. Their presence on file could hurt score 80-100 points. One of our members had scores in the high 750s. 

 

When his lien dropped off one Fico 8 score went straight to 850 and another (with a HP on file) went to 845. He had a lengthy credit history with multiple open loans, 3 cards, low revolving utilization and no accounts under 12 months age.

 

Score change is influenced by file specifics. There are multiple clean scorecards available to transition to from a given dirty scorecard. Where a now clean file lands depends on its accounts and their reporting details.

My score changes when my last IIB account fell off were:

 

Experian              F8 +57, F9 +42.

Equifax                 F8 +25, F9 +77. 

Transunion          F8 +54, F9 +65.
