I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM WACHOVIA DEALER SERVICES THAT A REPORT FROM EQUIFAX ISSUED A REPORT THAT WAS NOT GOOD AND THEREFORE WAS DENIED CREDIT BY ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP WHERE I WAS TO BUY A CAR....I WAS TOLD MY CREDIT SCORE WAS 827 AND WAS GIVEN CREDIT BY FORD....I AM UNHAPPY WITH HAVING EQUIFAX REPORTING THAT MY CREDIT IS BAD....THE LETTER HAD AN APP #952-53938174

Your Credit Score was a 827 and they denied you credit? Maybe it was how much the vehicle, you wanted to buy, was worth. Maybe you can try and finance a good, used car and help your credit THAT way ( with a score like THAT, I don't see why you would have bad credit!).

its true you can get the service only once free in a single financial year.but i think one shouldn't think much about whether report is free or charged one if one want to get a good deal on the car.

priority is here to get a car not the report........... correct me if you can. but i suppose you should first get the report (free or paid) and then get the deal done as soon as possible. :roll:

Yep..makes sense, ENSUREPUNE. If there are some 'little' debts, on your Credit Report, that you can pay off, BEFORE you try to buy a car, i would do that first. yes, OP, your Credit Score may be REALLY high, but,..it ALSO depends on how MUCH debt you have..if ( possibilty?) you're 'overextended' on credit. Hope this makes sense.
