How many different types of credit scores are there? Does anyone know, if FICO is just one.

I was just laughing about that myself. Recently some abbreviations came up that have left me stumped. Still waiting on answers to those.

I know, I don't know a few of the abbreviations either, I try to put the meaning in parenthesis if I am going to use them.

Thats a good idea. I just found something interesting online. did you know that PA is the only state that doesn't publish its debt collection code online. It says you got to go to a library to look it up or call the atty (attorney) gen. (general) office to find out.

As far as I know, there are two types of credit score - one is the FICO score and the other is the Vantage score. Vantage score is a new credit scoring model created by the three credit bureaus. In vantage score, the credit score ranges from 501 to 990 with higher score denoting low risk profile customers.

Sounds alot like the one they usually use. What number would you say is a good score? I know in the 900 would be great but my hubbys is in the 700 mark and I think thet sounds good.

now, get off the Bush kick, someone else will take over here shortly and I think that us working folks will be paying out even more to keep those who choose to sit on their rear ends and have us supporting them.
