I'm very curious, are there different scores, for each CR?? If there is, I had no idea. Can we actually get our CR's. from this site ( somewhere)? It says 'Credit Score Update' on the forum. Do you put your ACTUAL credit score there??

Wendy you have to pull out credit reports from the three different agencies. The agencies do not interact internally for score calculation. They have their own different models for calculation. So the scores are also different.

I have been working to bring it up, this number is the last time I checked it about a year ago, here in a few months I will pull it again to see where I am at over the year.

Hey good, I agree with Laura. you sure are determined Smile

I looked at Transunion and my score is 647 and then looked at Experian where it's in the higher 500s. i havne't pulled all three yet, i think i'm scared to. I know that transunion will go down because i charged my car repair on there and any time you go past the 25% credit or approach 50% scores will go down though i don't know how much. i'm interested to see. we need to raise ours too. shoot now that i think about it i should look at hubby's too since most everything we have is under his name. couldn't be that bad, we got a car about 3 years ago with no money down in his name....eeeeee probably not smart that's why we're stuck with the payment we have. well we did trade a very badly damaged dodge intrepid. that counted i guess. good luck everyone with raising scores!

Maybe we can show improvement if you run this poll one year from the date that you ran this one. It would be interesting to see how much people have improved wouldn't it?

Well, we signed the loan this morning..

My scores are 513, 553 and 583.....My interest rate is around 6.25% fixed for 30 yrs... I had several collections and charge offs... The stipulation was that I had to pay some of them off and or dispute them... I paid the little ones off and disputed the biggies... I also had to explain why my credit history is the way it is... That was rather easy... I was doing great until 9/11 occurred... My industry took a big hit like many others..

My recommendation to anyone is to research and try to get a FHA loan at all costs.... You get a better rate!! The PMI insurance is nothing...we are paying half a percent...where as the coventional would have been 3 to 4 percent....thats a big difference... Like 700 bucks worth in our case..

This is my third house, I had to jump way more hoops than the others, but in this case it $$ worth it...

BTW.. we will be refi the loan in 6 months to a year (if the rates go down).. With the FHA we wont have to go thru all the hoops as we did this time...

SO, look into a FHA FIRST!!!! Best thing we ever did...

I forgot to put in there that FHA needs to see job stability along with income.. But that is kinda a given with ANY mortgage loans....
