    I just checked Creditexpert and had gained 17 points. Here's the reason..2 positive accounts have been deleted. Not sure how or why that affected it, one was paid in full/paying as agreed, the other was CL $3000 balance $2200 paying as agreed. That is too weird........but hell I'll take the point gain.

    Were both or one of these a finance account? If so that's probably the reason.

    A couple other possibilities:

    -- You've got a lot of open revolving accounts. It's my understanding (based upon evidence for which I can't remember the source, lol) that FICO likes to see only less than 3 or 4 open revolving accounts.

    -- The two accounts that were removed were less than a year old. The FICO scoring algorithms favor older accounts.
