In the last 2 weeks, I paid off two credit cards, to the tune of around $6,000. The payments have been posted. Like last year, I want to get the 3 free credit reports, not all at one time. I also want to get my FICO score. I would like to know how long would be a good time to wait before getting the report and score from the time I paid off the two cards? Maybe the report isn't that big a deal to wait for, as I've had very good credit (my last score was a 750, I think), but if my paying off the cards helps my score, I'd rather save my money and wait before ordering that.
BTW, I still plan on using those two cards, but am going to try to pay off the balances each month.
Also, is the FICO the standard score used by credit reporting companies?
TIA,
Rick
