I just received my updated credit score in the mail and it has gone to up to a whopping 719. I am pleased with this. Im pretty sure it had to do with the fact that I paid off both of my credit cards in July and had refrained from keeping a balance on them.
My goal is to have it at 750 or above by Feb of next year. Fairly doable, I think.
I never thought about my score. I just made sure I paid my bills on time and it took care of itself.
Congrats. That is totally awesome.
