Hey everyone! New to the board and I just recently found out that my trustee meeting will be on 8/16/12! I am filing CH7 and cant wait to start to rebuild. I once had a 720 score and after a very rough turn in life events sunk deep into debt. I have been reading and researching these boards to gather the knowledge I will need to repair the damage. I am using experian.com to monitor my credit right now but have been reading more and more on "myfico score watch". Just wanted to quick introduce and say a quick thank you to everyone who contributes to the information on this site. Cheers!
One question I did have is, should I switch from experian.com and sign up for the myfico score watch now, or whait it out until my BK is discharged? Thanks again guys!
I would drop the experian.com because that is not your FICO score. You can only purchase your FICO here. I do not believe you can purchase your Experian FICO anywhere online.
I fully plan on signing up with the score watch I was just wondering when the best time to do that was. It seems like you can only pull from myfico every six months? Please correct me if I am wrong on that. I figured I would want a fresh pull after discharge to be able to dispute things and make sure they were reporting correctly if needed. Thanks again for the help. I just recently got a bank account with Navy federal in preperation to start rebuilding Now I just have to wait :/
for me i used freecredit (experian) just for the clean up. i loved to watch big balances turn to zero as each account was iib the 2 days after discharge was like a wave of updates bammm zero balance discharged in BK 7. watching scores go up (fako but still fun) even judgments got updated to discharged and one just fell off. it was worth the cost for me to pull a fresh report everyday for just the cost of the monthly plan. i also use smartcredit for TU and myfico for EQ
Ok, so when it says I get two power reports per year what is the difference between that and a normal report? That is why I got the idea that I only got two. Thank you for the replies guys!
it is a normal report plus score. you can click it and it will run a new updated report and score for no charge.
