How to get my credit score to 800 by Cyndiemd

"I just set my mind to it, and well....I did!"

How I did it: Just re-budgeted and tried to not over spend and pay off any large amounts.  Consolidated my debts and paid them off one by one.  Made sure everything was paid on time.

It took me
1 year
It made me
surprised

How I did it: Not really sure how I did it since the ways of the scoring elude me, but somehow I managed to get that sucker to 810. I paid all my bills on time and in full every month.I have two credit cards - one of which I owe nothing on but keep open for emergencies. The other one is my regular use card that has the lower rate, and I pay more than the minimum due every month. Read how I did it…

    As of today, Experian’s given me a score of 712 – not too shabby, but I know I can improve it if I pay down one of my card’s on which I’m currently carrying a high balance. This is going to be tough. So tempting to buy a new fall wardrobe!

    But I bowl a 170, so that's nice. 14 months ago

    As per a previous entry I’d like to break the 800 mark.

    3 years ago I was in the bottom two percent of all FICO scores. Now I am almost at the national average and just paid 80 percent of all my credit card debt.

    I wish there ws a mandatory class for high school seniors on how to handle credit. Maybe this would save a lot of other people from making my mistakes.

    Best wishes to everyone with this goal.

    After having paid off all credit card debt, my score dropped from 745 to 739. Any ideas?
    • No, I have not applied for any new lines of credit.
    • No, I have not closed any cards.

    803 21 months ago

    A jump of 4 may be due to:
    -recent changes in FICO calculations
    -the fact that I paid off my car note early

    I've got like 760 on Equifax 23 months ago

    I was surprised to find out that I have a high credit score on Equifax! Woo hoo! So, I’ve increased my credit to $3,000 and lately, I only have $60 on my credit card for Christmas presents. With the combination of saving money and bank account, my goal is to have a budget and increase my credit score.
