So... in trying make sure I have things lined up for an auto loan app (not immediately but upcoming) I pulled my scores today. I did it today because my Credit Karma score went up 29 points on the weekly update last night which tells me that recent CC payments have been applied (mostly) and probably raised my FICO as well. The FICO reports still show two CC balances higher than they are but they'll report this month helping my scores further.
FICO report shows my utilization at 29% when I'm actually at 20%. (Down from 80% or so a year ago).That all being said, scores as of today are:
Credit Karma: 729
TransUnion: 730
Experian: 728
Equifax: 707 (surprised this one is 20+ pts. lower than the others)
DTI: 33% (Rent + 3 min. CC payments totaling $75 + imputed loan payment of $375.00 / gross monthly income)
So I'm not loving the 707 EQ but I think I should be ok for a car loan getting a good rate. Looking at DCU's 1.99% unless Hyundai has a 0% coming up.
Thoughts?
You're good, you'll qualify fot top tier rates everywhere, no worries. One thing to consider is at least in my area on the Elantra (if you decide to do that vehicle), Hyundai offers $750 in customer cash, but makes you take their financing @ 2.9% for 60 months. IMO it makes sense to take their money, finance with them at the higher rate, and refi in 2 months with DCU @ 1.99 for 65. Again just something to keep in mind.
