It's just nice to be able to get credit again after the mess of the past 5 years. Just got a $33k car loan through VW Credit a couple of weeks ago at a decent rate, so things are defintely getting better.
Want to share the details of the car loan? It seems we're in a similar spot, I was just approved for WM card at $600 and interested in a VW albeit much less expensive. What were your scores, APR, downpayment, etc
I LOVE my new Walmart Discover card, mainly because of the monthly free TU FICO 08 score!
I was approved for only $500 because they pull TU. TU is my worst CR because I still have a lien reporting. Instead of disputing, I'm waiting until Oct, 2013 when it will fall off by itself. There's no lien on my EQ report, which is why my EQ is 90 points higher than TU. This time next year, I should see a nice jump in my TU score and thanks to my Walmart card, I get to see it for free
