How can I increase my fico score from 807 to 850?


We’ve been looking to buy a home and started looking seriously, I have a 807 FICO score and my other half has an 804, (we got the letter from B of A) today. Is there a way to get our scores higher in a couple of months? We don’t have a cent of debt and always pay our CC’s off every month. I’d like to bump our scores to 850. (the limit)

What’s the best and fastest way to increase credit fico scores?
