http://www.bankrate.com/brm/fico/calc.asp?lpid=BKRATE29 Folks sue this fico score simulator. it can tell you the range if you open a new account, start being late, are never late, etc. Credit cards impact the score the most.

Sue? Why would someone sue? Bankrate is permitted to provide the estimator.

I think he meant "see" - he made the same typo in another post. Possibly a fat-finger error, but the "u" is 4 keys over ...

Did you mean use? I played with it a few times. It looks pretty good to me.

That simulator is way off for me.

It gives me a minimum score 100 points higher than my real score.

Yeah, "use" makes more sense.

Where's that "Speeling" thread ...

i think this simulator is fairly accurate--it gave a good ballpark for me that is roughly equivalent to my actual fico's...One thing I noticed is that payment history has an enormous effect--the biggest of anything, so really, pay those bills on time all the time and the score goes up

How come it never shows 850 possibilities?
