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. _________________ FICO scores as of 10-03 Equifax 695 Experian 680 Transunion 679
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!
