Thanks for responding....I have no CCs at the moment. TU680 (because of one collection scheduled to fall off in Sept 09), EQ 754 and EX (last time I checked a year ago, and it should only have gone up since then since I have had perfect payment on a car loan) 745. I am saving now and would like to be able to start looking for a house in about a year. The only debt I have currently is a car loan (lease) with two more years left, balance around 8K.
