Drumroll please...............677!!! It was 540 in October, it was well worth the long wait. I am quite happy, reason codes, length of history and recent inquires Mom
Congratulations Momof3! happy for you Momof3. That score is great. I haven't got my score yet, just scared to know about it. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Congratulations Momof3! Thanks and for those who got the same message as me, call them!!! Be prepared to wait atleast 30 minutes but they will ask for your ss# and retrieve your report and you can long on and see it. Mom (still in shock)

Re: 1-888-532-0179 Congratulations. You give me hope Momof3 I just started this repair stuff and as of right now my score is 561 with the judgement doing the most damage.
Melissa Thanks, yes it can be done just takes some time. I had no negatives just starting building and thought I was doing fine til I saw my score 540!! I closed 7 accounts and now have 5 and paid down balances some, time also helped I am sure. We will all be here cheering you on Mom
RMelissa and Mom Mom, Excellent work! Congratulations! Melissa, Keep the faith! You'll get there, I promise. Improving your score takes a lot of work and time is probably your greatest asset. Last night, I was able to get my score online. Yep, I couldn't believe it. Tried to get it earlier and received the all-too-familiar we'll contact you by mail when your order is processed, message. But, when I got home from work and checked later in the evening, the score was there. The news isn't great. I am at 640 but the numbers could have been worse. Therefore, I'll accept what I have and keep on trudging forward. My biggest problem is the paid chargeoff that's still on Equifax and I also have a couple of late pays. Thes marks are over two years old but I can't get them off. I keep disputing but to no avail. The battle is getting depressing. My past mistakes may continue to haunt me for the next five years. If only I could get rid of that confounded paid chargeoff! Thank God! Transunion deleted it! Good luck to all who are getting their scores. Donna
Momof3 NOt bad at all.See,it was smart of you to have closed those acc'ts that you did.Give that Amex time to age and you will be Prime Time.I would close one more account after you get the GREEN and focus on working it.Having that one extra card could make a difference in FICO scores.Congradulations again. I think it would be a waste of my time and money to pull my Fico score now.Maybe in a year after all my new accounts age.They are so new that it would make a difference now.I am anxious to know if roni has pulled hers to compare.I know she's still with us.I can feel her presents on the board.Even if its just lerking.Hello roni if you just so happen read this post.

Re: Momof3 oh yea,you're good to go.A brand new world.Don't leave home without it.You are pretty much set from here out.What more can you ask for?????????????????You built your credit,you weren't having to repair,like most of us.You have a good credit portfolio established.
Re: Momof3 Great job, Momof3! That's wonderful. I guess you'll be up in the 700s by summer as those inquiries and your new accounts get older
Re: Momof3 A BIG CONGRATS, mom! I told you your scores would be awesome. They have went up so much. You will definately be over 700 very soon. Keep up the great work! We are all proud of you!
