Scores soaring since collections removed

Hey all.

 

I recently disputed some things to all three agencies. My scores were kind of in the crapper and I didn't care about my credit or understand what it could do for me.

 

Now I'm an avid fan of credit and am biding my time to get into a good cash back card. My sights are set on AMEX BCP but I'd also like to get a Visa at some point.

 

Anyway, I'm in the process of paying off my current credit card debt, and have an auto loan ($18,000 left out of $26,000.) This month I made someh uge payments and reduced my utilization from $40% to about 9-20% (one card is 9%, another store card is 25%).

 

What can I expect my scores to do in a month? Should I order a new set of reports next month or just use the monitoring?

 

Thanks!

Honestly, once your util gets below 10%... you could easily be in the 800's. I have no collections on my report and my scores are a lot lower than yours from lates on my student loans in the past.
