FICO Score Tracking #5 – Nothing New, Yet
Posted by Cap in Credit Related |
Track your FICO scores easily with Score Watch!

- Number of accounts opened: 7
- Inquiries: 3
- Total revolving balances: $10,000
- Total available credit: $53,000
A little bit early for an update, but a quick snapshot before the FICO score goes up will be handy for future references.
The July or August score should be back up above 700, as the last 0% balance transfer is paid off. The June score, although not posted yet, should be the same 679.
It’s really simple, most of the score fluctuations through the past two years are mainly due to credit utilization, which accounts for 30% of the FICO scoring, according to the folks at Fair Issac.
Updated past tracking posts and added in the bulleted info above. This way you’ll have a better idea of how score relates to available balances.

Oh, I guess I should ask you, who do you go through?

the score above is provided by a Providian credit card.. my horrible PayPal credit card that I got when I was young and stupid. From what I gather, it’s a real FICO score, but it’s credit adjusted.. as in, it’s the score the creditor (Providian) receives from Transunion.
the best bet to check your FICO score is to pay for the report+score from http://www.myfico.com
problem is they’re rather expensive. if you’re not looking to apply for any major credit soon, or need to know your credit score anytime soon.. you shouldn’t order it.
if you need it, there’s a 20% discount code: CPPSAVINGS
it’ll give you the three report+scores for $35.88, handy if you plan to grab an auto loan, mortgage or other large installment loans within the next 6-12 months.
otherwise, stick w/ checking your free report from http://www.annualcreditreport.com
