Increased credit score for wife

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Today my wifes credit score jumped from a 551 up to a 580. This was do to accounts on her credit score being changed to IIB (Included in Bankruptcy).

No changes since November 22 for me.

We use several items from equifax to monitor our credit reports and credit scores. We use Equifax Credit Watch Gold 3-in-1, Equifax Score Watch, and Equifax Score Power Whis is pretty cool as you get e-mail alerts to notify you of any changes to your credit reports, or credit scores.

New year and same credit scores

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

It’s 2009! Neither one of us has had any activity in our credit scores in about a month. We are stagnant at 542 for me, and 551 for my wife. This is about a 136 points lower than a couple months before the bankruptcy, and my wifes is 196 lower than pre-bankruptcy.

Our 60 days toward our bankruptcy discharge should occur later this month. Hopefully score will rebound after the bankruptcy debt discharge.

No credit score changes

Odd… but it must be most of the bankruptcy paperwork has slowed down, and most creditors have reported changes to the credit reporting agencies. Neither one of us has had any activity on our credit reports or scores for a few weeks now.

Wifes credit score had an increase

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

There have been no changes in my score the last couple weeks, but today my wifes credit score increased from a 549 to a 551. Only 2 points. This was from a lower balance being reported on the car loan… od that my score didn’t increase too.

Another week another raise in credit score

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

Today my credit score increase went from a 532 to a 542. The credit alert from equifax stated items effecting score were not as harmful. The score is going the right direction. Up! Let’s keep going that direction.
