High credit score increase in one month after discharge

I was shocked to see my score went from a 500 something to a 677 in just one month after my discharge was complete. Everything on my account has been cleared except for two credit cards that I was an authorized user for which I included on my bankruptcy petition. I called Chase and they said they will remove both of the cards for me. My question is .. will my score hang around that level now if I don’t have any means of credit? I have a motorcycle loan that I signed a reaffirmation agreement for but I don’t think they are reporting to the three credit agencies anymore. I would like to keep my score somewhat fair because I will be getting an aprtment soon and possibly will need a used car loan in the near future.

  • Late Mortgage payment October 2013, will my credit score increase after October 2015?

    I have a few late payments in a row on my current mortgage, the last one being on October of 2013. From what I hear, lenders are mostly concerned about the past two years. Now, after October 2015 will my actual credit score increase because of that??

    so most likely 0 points?That's would I would expect.  Anything more than that would be a blessing.  The late payments are still on your reports and still weigh down your score... although the impact lessens over time... it doesn't vanish.

    I would recommend tracking down the app that uses this and unionist all it completely from  your computer. Also if you have upgraded the RAM on the machine you may have a RAM falling DIMM or it may have become unseated or it might not be the correct specs for your machine.

  • One month after purchase, external battery has died

    Hello! One month after I purchased my Lenovo, the external battery on my laptop is dead. When I checked the Power Manager, it said that the second battery is not working and I should replace it. Plus when the external battery is connected to my laptop and I disconnect the power cord, the laptop shuts off.
    I bought the four year think vantage depot protection or whatever it's called, and I have an X1 Thinkpad. Am I able to replace my external battery for free? What would I have to do? I tried finding this info online but I'm having trouble finding information about it

    @Afridicy,
    There is a battery firmware to fix this issue.
    Please refer to this.

  • What has been your AU credit score increase?

    Hi All! I'm just wondering what has everyone's score experiences been when they were added as an AU to some high limit cards. I was just added on to a families members two cards that they don't use or if they do, they PIF before statement cuts. The two cards I was added to were an Amex BCE at $20,000 limit and a Barclay AA Red Aviator card at $17,000 limit. These two card along with my two current credit limits will total around $40,000 in credit. I'm currently in the rebuilding process after completely ruining my finances during college. Current scores are EQ - 610, TU - 632, EX - 604. Thanks for the insight!

    ^^^ Thank's for the information. I know Amex is not backdating anymore, but I'm not too woried as my current AAoA as it stands without the two new cards is a little over 6 years. I'm currently waiting till September for my Cap1 QS1 credit steps to kick in. Hopefully I'll be among those who gets a $2-3K CLI....one can only hope I guess.  I'll be in the garden till' at least next summer. I have no collections, but a few charge offs from Cap1 3 years ago that were completely PIF. Also have car loan and student loans that have never missed a payment in loan history. Hopefully my scores will start to increase here soon.  Goal is get at least 2-3 cards with $5k+ Limit. Looking to have an Amex Everyday card, Chase Saphire, and Cap1 Venture in the future. More focused on travel rewards than cashback. 

  • Ipod frozen one month after warranty expired!

    I REALLY REALLY hope somoeone can help! I have the 40GB ipod that I got as a 2004 Christmas gift. I only use it when I go to the gym, so it hasn't been jostled around from frequent use. It has a protective case and resides in it's own compartment in my gym bag. Needless to say, it has ALWAYS been very protected.
    I pulled out my ipod to take it on vacation in January this year. I get on the plane, pull out my ipod and it's frozen. I've been trying these 5R's, but the best I get after several updates and resets is the language screen and this only happens when I move the hold switch from on to off. From there, nothing happens.
    Could it be a mere coincidence the timing of such an issue? Has anyone else had this happen and how on earth does apple get away with this?!

    I tried that a dozen times but buttons seem to be locked -
    Dead iPod Nano after Upgrade to iTunes 7.1.1.5.
    Immediately after upgrading to iTunes 7.1.1.5. and updating, charging, and syncing, my iPod does not function properly.
    Symptoms:
    _The click wheel does not seem to work any more. The hold switch is set correctly to the left position.
    _No response to a reset by holding menu / select buttons for 10 secs.
    _When iPod is plugged into my CPU it seems to act normally - the screen lights up briefly and displays the message "do not connect" as iTunes starts and syncs all checked songs like normal.
    _After the sync the iPod display a full battery icon.
    _When the iPod is unplugged from the CPU the iPod display is lit briefly, displays the menu where the user selects which language to use. There is a small icon that looks like a lock at the top of the screen. After about 15 secs the screen goes blank despite trying to scroll and make selections with the click wheel.
    _The iPod does not respond to the click wheel when in Itunes (which may be normal) or when disconnected (even after switching the hold switch back and forth several times).
    _The iPod shows up in iTunes and in My Computer.
    _Songs on iPod open in Windows Media Player and play OK when selected directly from My Computer.
    I tried resetting and upgrading the iPod several times from Itunes and also restoring ITunes 5 but no luck.
    This iPod (2g) is 15 mos. old and worked perfectly just prior to the upgrade to 7.1.1.5..
    Help!

  • I just found out my credit score dropped because Verizon One bill put me through collections for my final bill that I never received and after almost two hours on the phone transferred back and forth they still could not confirm if I owe money or not.

    After 2 hours transferred back and forth between billing, one bill, home and wireless no one could prove that I owed money.  Wireless said I owed nothing and home said I had a credit for cancelling a couple days before the billing cycle but owed for wireless.  After a three-way called between Home and Wireless and Wireless insisting I do not owe anything, the Home representative disconnected herself, the wireless rep promised me a call back the next day to get the other department online and to get everything resolved.  No one called me back next day and the day after.  Knowing this could go in circles and don't want to do anything bad to my credit, I paid the settlement amount to the collection agencies.  Now I saw that my credit score got ding for an amount that Verizon couldn't prove that I owed.  I should not have paid it at all.   If someone from Verizon reads this message, please get back to me and get this resolved.  After more than 15 years with this company, this is making me so frustrated.  I liked Verizon services but at this point I am going to start looking for someone with better billing.

    I called customer service, spoke to Verizon Wireless Representative but they cannot pull anything on my record.  So after two transfers I asked to speak to financial services.  Spoke to Ronnie Ext 5100.  Representative was very rude, not listening, kept on insisting that since I paid the collection agency I cannot dispute.  Said should not have paid the collection agency.  Rep was over talking, not listing to me explaining my frustration of being on the phone for hours in November between Verizon OneBill, Home and Wireless and got nothing resolved, and that's why I paid.  Said there's nothing she can do except to put a note to Credit Bureau that the account is paid in full.  I asked to talk to a supervisor or a manager and she said no one can do anything else.  I insisted and she asked me to leave a phone number to call back.  After all the calls and speaking to many reps, this is the worst.  Now I am back to square one waiting for someone to call me back.  And my credit score is still one hundred points lower thanks to Verizon!!!

  • Credit Score Drop & Credit Limit Increase.

    This morning I had 7 points drop from my credit score.  This past month I decided to pay off a 10 year student loan early thinking it would help my credit score.  I know it has helped my financial situation but has given my credit score a hit.  I am thinking I got the hit because I closed the account out which significantly lowered my AAOA. I have a auto loan that I am currently paying off and the loan ends in about 2 years.  Ive been going back and forth about paying off this also, but since I got the hit I just decided not to and just wait the 2 years.  In my report I have 1 missed payment waiting to fall off next month, and after that I am pretty set.  I have been also itching for another credit card. At the moment I only have one card which is my Barclaycard.  What are your thoughts on opening up another one? I know it'll drop my score but I am thinking that I need to replace my loan with something beneficial such as another credit card.  I am just not sure if that is a good thing.  This morning I checked my Barclaycard statement and realized that they increased my credit limit.  I started off with $1000 and they gave me a credit limit of $3500.  So my question is how will this affect my credit score?   I am on the road of rebuilding my credit.  I started this road in the low 500's and within a few months I was able to get my score up to the low 700's with the help of this forum and advice.  I would hate to see myself go backwards again.  Any advice would be great.

  • How long after discharge to apply for a credit card?

    I was discharged from chapter 7 on June 2nd and I was wondering how long I should wait before I apply for a credit card to rebuild my credit? I am not in a rush to get one but are you more likely to get approved for one right after discharge ? I am reading alot of comments online of people being approved in the first month.

I am reading alot of comments online of people being approved in the first month. It depends on which CC companies you included in your CH7, the ones you included in BK will make you wait longer post discharge before they'll approve you for anything. If you didn't include Capital One they are one of the most BK friendly CCs. Try their pre-qualifier: http://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/ They use internal records and soft pull review from CRA to pre-screen you without affecting your CS. If they come back to you recommending a specific card and specific interest rate your chances are very good good you will be approved when you apply, but an app with them results in a hard pull inquiry on all 3 CRAs. 

  • Score Increase after 12 months of no late payments?

    I have some late payments that are going to be hitting the 1 year mark.  Will I see any score increase as a result of this? Any insight would be helpful!!! Thank you

    I believe most people say at 24 months, you may gain some points back but if you want to see if you can get results faster, try goodwilling your lates.

  • Scores increase-credit card usage

    So I know this is probably a broad question but was trying to find some feedback on the scoring changes to the positive side when using your credit cards to try and bump up that FICO score. Typically what have you guys experienced as score increases by using your cards and what are your normal ebs and flows, do you PIF every month, save a little balance, do you use every card in your portfolio or do you just rotate a couple???? Obviously we all have different CL's and utilizations but based on your util what kind of increases do you see? I apologize up front if this has been covered or if this is in the wrong location. I took a break and just recently came back to the boards for some information covering different topics. I am currently trying to hit a target of 820, sitting at about 770 right now. Just added a new AMEX card to my stable and it will be heavily used and PIF every month until I get my sign on bonus and that great 3xCLI, hopefully lol. I guess I'm trying to figure out what kind of sweet spot people see as a guide in increasing their scores. I'm not looking to do this overnight because based on my experiences my scores have gradually increased over the long term. I'm in the garden for a while probably because I'm not looking to add a bunch of new cards or even loans. Cards are all paid off and typically I PIF. Thx for feedback   

    For the best Fico scoring, they say to only let one card report less than 9% util, and let all others report at 0%. The util. that will hurt your score (trust me I know) is letting even one account go over 30% util. (even if you total util. is less than 9%, that one card over 30% will ding your score.. the higher % over the greater the ding).

  • Collection updates every month, will score increase when

    I pay it off, the collector has agreed to delete once I make payment. It is also the last collection on my TU report, its a credit card charge off, the collection will be gone, but the charge off will still be there, should I try and gw capitol one to have charge off removed? Really hope I have a score increase with the collection gone, last update was this month

    ThankdDoesn't hurt to try regarding the CO; but if the CO was fixed in time at some point in the past and the collection is updating will be deleted, least on FICO 8 probably get some points which'll get better over time.
