I had a bankrupcy in 2003 and my credit went from bad to worse.Before my bankrupcy my credit rating was falling fast due to a layoff.I couldn't even afford to pay attention.Before the b.k. I think my credit rating was somewhere around 560.After the b.k. my score went down to a 485!!! Now I have a great job and I am very cautious when it comes to credit. My credit situation is back on track and my score of 631 is improving monthly!

My advice to you is to keep your credit cards at a maximum of 30% of the limit,and always pay the bill on time.Another word of advice is if you get a new credit card, activate it but don't charge anything on it. It shows no payment due, and a zero balance. This should start to bring up your score.

All the advice is just from my own personal experience and may not be the right advice for everyone.

Hope this was helpful and good luck!!!!!!

Why is my credit score dropping drastically when I'm making payments that are more than minimum on time?

You've made a big mistake like I did 3 years ago. I've paid all my bills ''on time'' and ''in full'' for 18 months. But my credit score drops more than 50 points. WHY?? After I studied for 3 years on credit. Let me tell you some tips...... 1. pay your bill on time ( cause one late payment could drop your credit score 30-50 points 2. you need to keep your balance under 30% of your credit limit.( trust me, that was the mistake I made ) and your credit score will definitely drop if your balance higher than 50% of your credit limit. So you do not want your credit card show ''maxing out'' on your credit report. And if you want to increase your credit score faster, its better to keep your balance between 10%-20% but you have to keep eye on all your revolving accounts ( car loans & mortgages are a little different ) 3. Dont apply for too much new accounts with a short time 4. If you have a credit acct with good history but you dont use it anymore. just make sure DO NOT close that acct. 5. Dont ask your creditor to lower your credit limits. 6. pay down your debt asap. Anyway, I hope those info will help you out. but remember...sometime we just cant beat the credit system. For example, one time my America Express balance increase from $0 - $116 and my credit limit is $8200. but guess what? my score drop 2 points. I know its not much. but how can you explain that? I have no any late payment. all my accounts balance are below 30% and plus balance $116 is only 0.02% of my credit limit. but basic follow my info, your credit score will definitely increase. It takes time....Good luck my friend!

Can you have an IQ of 116?

Sure. IQ is a score of mental ability. The "average" is 100, but the scale is not linear, like on a ruler. The span of IQ scores from 85 to 115 accounts for about 68% of the population, the span from 70 to 130 accounts for about 95% of the population. If you have an IQ of 116, you're *just* in the (95-68) = 27% of the population. Anyone with a score below 70, or with a score above 130, is in a rare group that are only about 5% of the total population.
