Personal Finance (Not Investing) • Improving fico score

$

Paying the balance before the billing date should make a difference. Not before the balance due date, before the date they send the bill. Part of the formula to determine your score is the amount you owe on the billing date.
I use a bill payment system and I do pay on due date. I can certainly start paying even before the bill payment comes out.
Thanks for this suggestion.

There are multiple reports of folks leasing the car I am buying who had to pay more in lease ( Bank of America ) when their fico scores were between 800-814. I hope I will not run into this issue. Otherwise, I don't care about Fico or credit scores at all.

How often is fico evaluated? I can pay all the credit cards off before the bills are due before applying for a lease will this help?
I pay immediately upon receiving bill. My credit score improved from mid 700’s to 815.
