my walmart jump from 646 to 702 in one month after a baddie fell off my report
Well, I ended up running my EX file just to see what it said and it came back with a score of 785. All 3 credit places come back with the exact same information, but EX is saying a lower score BECAUSE of my student loan. It says "The remaining balance on your non-mortgage installment loan is too high." Now why would they consider this but the other 2 don't?? At least I'm still above the 760 mark, which they said on there is considered "excellent" credit.

A 785 EX Score is GREAT! Congrats!
And good job on the new cards! YAY for you.

Thanks, I was just hoping it was around the same as the other 2 credit scores. I just don't understand why EX counts the student loan as negative and the other 2 don't. I still have 2 more semesters left in school, so my credit with EX is probably only going to get worse since it will add even more to that loan. Sigh
