My credit score is just 4 points away from 800 and we have managed to pay extra on our car payment every month (partly thanks to coupoing:) and next month we will have it paid off 3 years early!! After we pay this off will it bump our score up? Also I have 2 old credit cards (1 is a department store card and the other is a credit card) that we never use, I actually thought I had closed those accounts a long time ago, if I close those 2 will that bump up my score? I’m just trying to get it bumped up to see that 800 🙂 One last question, I know 740 is considered “prime” is there any credit score level that is considered higher than that generally? Thanks!!
Hey Lindsay – Ironically closing down the two cards won’t help. It either won’t do much or it could actually hurt you. I would suggest if you’d like to close them – close one (the one with the lower available credit) and then wait before closing the other one (6 months or so). Paying off the car will save you $ (less interest) but may not do much for your score. Actually 780+ is kind of like the super best tier – and that’s you!!!! 🙂 Awesome job!
Good to know! Thanks so much Christie! I love your site and thank you for your dedication to helping all of us save money!
