Thats really cool.

I am currently working really hard to get rid of some credit card debt.  I have 4 cards and just paid one off.  The next one will be paid off next month and then I will still have two more.  its cool to use this to see where I might stand.

By the way, I am between 690 and 760 according to your link.

I already know mine and the link is fairly accurate, conservative if anything.  Mine is actually a bit higher than the median number the link offered.

If you have a long history with the card you paid off, keep it if they don't charge you a yearly fee.  The quickest way to drop your FICO score is to close an account that you had for a long time.

My potential Score Range is between 760 and 830. That sounds about right.
