It will take is up to 6 months for your FICO score to go up if you just paid off all your bills. Now if you have been staying on top of your bills and paid them when you was suppose, then your score will go up in 3 months.

How many points are taken off your credit score when a credit check is done?

Answer by housemouseref
It depends on what type of company pulled your credit. Example, if you are shopping for a car loan, supposedly, you have up to 5 credit pulls within a 30 day time frame during which your score will not drop. It also depends on how solid your credit score is to begin with. If you have great credit with no lates, it probably won’t pull the score down. What type of credit are you shopping for?

Q&A: How many points are taken off your credit score when you cancel a credit card?

Question by Janice: How many points are taken off your credit score when you cancel a credit card?
I have 3 different credit cards from my bank and I just learned that they will be charging annual fees for each one very soon. I have these cards only because one was first time card (no offers). The next one had point rewards and the newest one had cash back. How many points will I lose from my “credit score”? Is there a sequence of time I should be concerned about as well..Oldest vs. newest?

I have to cancel at least cancel one or two.
P.S. I am in good standing with all 3.

Closing accounts hurts your rating in two ways.
1. Closing your oldest account will wipe out part of your history.
Length of credit history is 15% of your FICO.
2. You will be reducing your overall available limit on your cards.

But if you are paying fees, close them. There are plenty of cards out there without them.
How long until they will start charging you? I would open a new credit card before closing my oldest account.

Remember for pristine credit scores never carry a balance. Pay your bill in full each month and get 800+ scores.
