    i pulled an equifax fico on 10-11-03 and 11-01-03. on both i have a 695. on the report from 11-01-03 the differences are:

    revolving debt goes from $1638 - $990 (only 2 cards have balances)
    one cc limit goes from $2000 - $2700 (one of the cards with balances)
    credit history goes from 35 months to 3 years (a landmark i hear)
    inquires go from 0 - 2 in past 6 months (13 in 2 years)
    and of course 1 month aging on all accounts

    and here is one negative thing about my history that makes me laugh

    --------------------------------------------------------
    The proportion of balances to credit limits on your revolving/charge accounts is too high
    The proportion of balances to credit limits on your revolving/charge accounts is 24%. The average proportion of balances to credit limits on revolving/charge accounts carried by U.S. consumers is around 34%.

    --------------------------------------------------------

    so if im below the average, whats the problem. and i thought 24% was low anyway.

    so do 2 inquiries hurt me so much that they take away the other 3 good changes i have. and isnt it ironic that i get the same score.

    INQ are usually good for a 4-7 pt loss in my scores, so with 2 of them, you could account for possibly 10 pts...if you were me...lol

    Like you, I was hoping for great things today as my oldest account went to three years - equally dissapointed - EQ syaed on 719, EX 666 from 667.

    Ce la vie!
