How much time?

I'm trying to get my mid score to 640 to qualify for downpayment assistance for a mortgage. Currently, mid score is 624. :-( Utilization is optimized (6 cards at $0, 1 card at $50 = <10%) and I've dealt with every neg that I can do anything about. This is where I landed. So now all I have left is time. Use cards a little, pay cards on time, rinse and repeat. Any of you smarter-than-me people have an estimate on how many months it might take to get those last 16 points?

Everything that was currently reporting has been settled in the last 2 weeks with the exception of 4 Portfolio accounts. The original debt was from 2012, but they purchased the debt last fall, so they're all showing opened 08/14. Reporting monthly, the jerks. Since they refuse to delete anything, I've basically ignored them and focused on other, less expensive things. I did, however, request DV on all 4 of them this morning, on the off chance that someone screwed up the paperwork and I get lucky. There's a medical collection from 2008 that should come off in about 4 months and everything else has open dates and last activity dates of 2012 and are listed as charge offs with $0 balance. So if nothing's aging into a fun category anytime soon and all I'm doing is charging little bits on CCs and paying them off/down, what's the point return on that kind of activity?  Portfolio are nasty that way. If you can get them to settle, it will stop the updating, and the items will start to age and lessen its score impact over time. The general assumption here in the forums is that such updating makes items look "fresh" to FICO, however I disagree with that assumption. Its my belief that constant updating is seen by FICO as increased collection effort. Remember FICO is all about calculating risk, and all other things being equal, increased collection effort would equal increased risk.

  • How do I display time remaining in a captivate published video so the learning can know how much time is remaining in a video

    After I publish my video it just plays but there is no indication of how much time is remaining on the video while watching. How do I display this

    It is possible, but you have to know 'time' is bit different, depending if you are talking about the 'editors' time or the real time spent by the the trainee. Have a look at this old blog post, that tries to explain:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/display-time-information
    Time can show on the TOC (editors time), and if you have a playbar with a progress bar that gives some indication as well, but both for pure linear projects.

  • Is there a way of checking how much time has been spent on an Adobe document?

    I would like to know how much time is spent preparing or completing Adobe forms for time keeping purposes.  Is there any record of this in the individual document metadata, or anywhere?

    Hi mikeq,
    I don't believe that's something that gets tracked in your Acrobat.com online account. There are  free time-tracking utilities, though. I did a quick Google search and found a number of them.

  • While running the query how much time it will taken, I want to see the time

    Hi Folks
    I would like to know ... While running the query how much time it will be taken, I want to see the time? in WEBI XI R2.....
    Plz let me know  the answer.......

    Hi Ravi,
    The time a report runs is estimated based on the last time it was run. So you need to run the report once before you can see how long it will take. Also it depends on several factors... the database server could cache some queries so running it a second time immediately after the first time could be quicker. And there is the chance of changing filters to bring back different sets of data.
    You could also schedule a report and then check the scheduled instance's status properties and view how long a report actually ran.
    Good luck

    I want an easy way to track how much time I've spent on certain projects. I really just need a plug-in that tracks how long files have been open. I'm having trouble searching for one like that; does anyone know if this exists as a plug-in or even as a function of Photoshop (or Illustrator)? This would be very helpful for freelancers. Thanks.

  • Is there a way to see how much time's left to render?

    I was wonder if Final cut pro x have the ability to show how much time is remaining in the rendering process...like premiere or final cut 7 use to, if I remember correctly...Same thing with Compressor 4.1.3

    The big problem with estimating time remaining is the app cannot see into the future on the timeline. there might be a very complicated section coming up that requires rendering effects, graphics, or complicated Motion files but only after lots of heavy duty decompression or transcoding.
    After using FCP for many years we sort of got a feeling for how much horsepower and time were going to sucked up with any given project or settings but today's monster CPUs and graphics cards have required me to rethink all of that previous experience.

  • Possible to check how much time an update statement on a table would take ?

    Hello @all
    I have a table with a fragmented Index, the table has an actula "user_updates" from 226'699.
    How can i find out how much time an update on this table takes ?
    i would like to check if there is any performance increase when i regroup the index (rebuild), cause the index has a fragementation of 85% now... (or should i delete the index completely) cause there are no user_seeks... only user_updates on the table...
    and i thought that indexes only makes sense if users are reading from the table... am i wrong ? (cause on every update from the table, the index (indexes) have to be updated too...
    Thanks and Regards
    Dominic

    Rebuilding the index will not likely result in a modification be quicker. At least not more than marginal. In fact, it might wven be slower, since if you currently have space on the index page for the new row and then rebuild so you *don't* have space then
    the index rebuild will make that update be slower (at least for the cases where you get page splits). 
    However if the index isn't used to find rows (any of the other three columns), then you have an index which only cost you and doesn't help you!

  • How much time on alternate methods of browser testing?

    Here's a question for anyone who has done professional Web design on at least a part-time basis. I'm trying to help a friend decide whether to get an account with a company (browsercam.com) that lets you submit a URL and then see what it would look like using different combinations of screen sizes, operating systems and browsers. Apparently they use a "farm" of real computers to do this. It ain't cheap.
    For those of you designers not using the above-mentioned company or anyone similar, what do you prefer for testing your CSS/HTML for compatibility with the variety of website visitors out there, including those with mobile devices - AND - how much time do you think you use this way in a typical year? Or month? The Dreamweaver Browser Lab? Testing it out on several computers you have access to? Sending the link to several people using different computers and smart phones? Something else?
    Thanks!

    I'm not a big fan of screenshot services b/c a still image of one site page doesn't tell you much. This may be OK for quick layout checks but it isn't sufficient for usability and performance testing.  For that, you really must test in real browsers & devices. 
    I have current versions of the 5 major browsers installed on my workstation (IE, FF, Opera, Safari & Chrome).  Plus MyDebugBar's multi-IE tester for checking legacy IE.
    http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
    If you're specifically targeting a particular make or model mobile device, it's best to buy or borrow one.  Given the staggering number of models on the market, it's not possible to check every one.

  • How much time does 8.2 software have?

    I've been reviewing software revisions for the Cisco ASA 5500 family.  We have a few clients running 8.2 and the jump to 8.3 will require significant effort to make sure everything translates properly.  There are no features in 8.3 that these clients require so it seems in their, and our, best interest to let them ride the 8.2 software until an upgrade is necessary to continue receiving security patches.  I have looked for EOL notifications but have not found anything for 8.2.  I have also placed an inquiry with our SE at Cisco, but I thought I would ask if anyone knows anything about how much time 8.2 has before we could expect to see an EOL notification.

    I can't seem to find the same for the 8.2.
    Though I would consider that there are still alot of users happily going about with the very old PIX firewalls running software 6.x or even older. Not saying its a good thing but it work.
    And considering 8.2 is the latest software before the BIG NAT change I would imagine it will stay in use for a long time for those that dont want to learn/adopt the new NAT format.

  • How much time does an AP take to failover to secondary controller

    hi All,
    My query is to understand how much time will an AP take to failover to its secondary WLC(Backup) incase primary goes offline.
    Whats the heartbeat time for each AP to verify reachability to WLC.
    also what is the purpose of AP Fail over priority under each AP. i want to ensure AP's fall back to primary WLC once its back online.(Preemption)

    Hi Matehw,
    My query is to understand how much time will an AP take to failover to its secondary WLC(Backup) incase primary goes offline.
    We can not tell exact time but normally It takes 1-3 minutes.
    Whats the heartbeat time for each AP to verify reachability to WLC.
    AP Heartbeat Timeout - AP sends heartbeat to WLC (By default its 30s). Once the primary WLC(or where AP is connected to)goes down, With heartbeats, the AP realizes sooner that the controller has become unreachable.
    also what is the purpose of AP Fail over priority under each AP.
    First of all there are three types: it goes like this Cirtical...high...medium..low.
    ***To configure AP failover priority, we must enable AP Fallback feature globally and then individual APs with a suitable priority level. 
    *** When using both the local  and global backup configurations, the locally configured settings take precedence in the event of a controller failure. If an AP is not able to join any of the locally configured controllers, it then tries to join the global backup controllers.

    It depends: Not enough. Or too much. ;-)
    Personally I'd say I spend about an hour (spread over the day) reading postings, maybe a bit more if I develop a small PL/SQL / SQL solution for a problem that presents a nice challenge. "SQL and PL/SQL" is my preferred topic, followed by "OracleXE". I like the "Database General" part, although I'm not contributing that much there - I'm simply a developer, DBA jobs are not my daily bread, aside from my OracleXE instance which drives my blog. Learning something new from others, day by day, is what keeps me coming back to this place.
