No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Equifax simulator showed that my score ran could be 650 to 680 if I pay my credit cards to 3%. My current score is a 530. Thats seemed like a unrealistic jump. Do you think that's as achievable as the Equifax simulator showed?
Nice simulator. If you look at everything else besides the score range, you'll learn what FICO likes through the questions they ask (if you're a newbie to the scoring game).

Score EQ is 547
Mine says between 605-655 and I am at 598. I answered every question correctly with a cr pulled yesterday. Weird that I am so much lower, but I have approx. $100k in student loans that are listed as paid as agreed even though they haven't gotten to the point where they are due yet. I still have a few months of school left. I have never missed or been late on any payments. Too bad my score isn't what they say it should be.
