    Today I checked my Scores from Equifax, it is 691 as it was in Feb03 no improvement!! I have total 7 Years of credit history , only bad is I have one CC paymed delay for 60days in Feb2002,that time I was out Country so I informed them that I will comeback and pay, the CC rep told me thats fine but they reported it to equifax. and no other bad,all a/c are paid as agreed. Can someone tell me any ideas how to improve my score. I am planning to buy a house soon so I am trying to improve my score.

    Thanks

    TRY 25 YEARS NO "BADDIES" EVER...665-739

    MOST OF THE TIME 690-710

    OWE TONS LESS NOW WITH 699 THAN I DID WITH 739!!!

    How do your cc balances look? Are they over 30% utilization?

    I have gained nearly 90 points since October 1st, by mainly paying down my balances.
