How I Got My Credit Score to an All-Time High
It's one thing to be able to write about how to improve your credit score. It's another to actually follow through and do it. And while I didn't follow my own advice exactly to the letter, as my credit score has always been good enough for what I needed, I recently improved my Equifax FICO score 13 points in one month to 777. That's an all-time high since I started monitoring my credit score on a regular basis about two years ago.
While my Experian FICO score is a couple points lower, 775, it's made the most progress since I started tracking my scores. In June of last year, my Experian FICO score was just 728.
To be fair, I've never had any major problems with credit. There are no collections, bankruptcies, or any other bad marks on my credit report. When I first started tracking my credit score a couple years ago, it was around 740 for all three bureaus.
