I just checked my credit score and boy did I get a surprise. Transunion is a 600 now (up 94 points) and Equifax is now a 617 (up 130 points). Also two weeks ago I got a $300 credit limit increase on my Capital One Secured Credit Card.

If everybody had 800, nobody would have someone to brag to. Do people really brag about credit scores though?

Yes they do, people brag about Platinum AMEX cards too.

I have been keeping an eye on my credit slowly rebuilding and I am approaching 700... i finally bought a car last week and the bank gave me a loan with the apr at 3%
if any of you guys could read more into that... does that mean Im doing ok? Should I expect to see a dramatic increase or dip because of the new line of credit?

I'm jealous. The only reason I want a Discover card is to get the free FICO score. Bank of America keeps lying like they will offer it by 1st quarter this year.

I get scores from Discover, Citi & Amex. Stop limiting yourself and take advantage of these offers from CC companies (Discover is great for their rotating 5% cashback & their online shops cashback offers [e.g. Nike, Macy's, RL 10% off sometimes, or at least 5%]).

My credit was screwed to the max. When I lived in Illinois, i couldnt catch a break with my jobs and whenever i tried to take a step forward, i took two back. But moving to Florida really helped me, I got a good job in my field making a good amount of money. So i made a vow to myself to rebuild my credit. I signed up for cards and paid off my bills each month and now im here. This thread really helped me a lot
Oh and i checked my FICO, im at a 632. I need that 700 at least tho
