Got 656 on equifax and 691 on quizzle so somewhere in the middle i guess. My car payments last year and a half I'm sure have helped. Looks like on time payments hurt me some. At 94%, but working on raising it. Using less than 20% of available credit tho. Should get a new quizzle score in a few weeks so I should be in the 700s.

I have 2 credit cards and I put myself as an authorized user on 2 of my grandma's high limit cards to give me a lengthier credit history. The utilization on all are less than 40% which makes my score look real good.

I have some negative debt from the young and dumb days that will fall off soon and some other stuff that needs disputing.

I'm hoping that in the next 3-4yrs I can have the credit and funds to do a 15yr mortgage on a 250k loan and have it paid off in 10. By the time I turn 40 I want to be debt free or at least have minimal (a few revolving accts, maybe an auto loan).

call them and have them do a credit review, they should offer it at least once a year.
Won't help. 1.5 years ago a chick totaled my car with 8 grand left to pay on it and 2 years ago my apartment got broke into. I'll be in high premium hell for a while.

Last credit application said 726. My credit card account says 696. I'm 24 with a HS diploma. I've bought and sold a house. With a 726 I was denied a loan for a boat and had to take out a 401k loan. Loans on boats are hardest to get.

Right now I have
2 credit cards
ATV loan
Auto loan
401K loan
Internet bill
Phone bill
Bed bill

My strategy was max credit cards ($500) when I started and pay off immediately. Now both companies have upped my line around 3k

Never do a 401k loan. It's just bad business.

Just got a Discover it Card, they said my FICO score is 686

:dry:

Another 5-6 more years of payments before I'm high 700's

In less than 3 years I went from a lower score than you to a 793. I think it's been closer to 2 and a half years.

What the hell do you have to do to get to 850?
