It has been a while since I gave you all an update on my credit score and why things have been moving. There is no mystery to why my score has gone down and back up.
As you can see, my score went down from about 770 to 747. Over those months, one of my banks closed my credit card accounts that I never used and I opened up a new credit card account to use as my primary card. The combination of events decreased my average account age significantly.
The only way to raise your score after something like that is to be patient and keep paying everything on time. I have, and my score finally took a jump up early this month. I am now sitting at a cool 757. It is just a step on the road to 800.
So, until further notice, you will see this credit score on the right side of the blog:
