NEW YORK (MainStreet) — It must be like bowling a perfect game, pitching a no-hitter or scoring a hole-in-one. You want to tell everyone, take pictures and put your name in lights. Achieving a perfect FICO credit score of 850 was such a big deal to one man, he issued a press release.
SubscriberWise announced today that company founder David Howe has obtained a perfect credit score of 850. The FICO score, the most commonly accepted credit measurement among U.S. lenders, ranges from a low of 300 to a high of 850 – the higher the better.
I should clarify, I found the press release part LOL worthy
That is truly a great accomplishment, but Press Release worthy? I think not. Now If he or anyone achieves 850 across all 3 major bureaus than call CNN...Lol.

Woud've been press-release worthy a decade ago when it was basicallly impossible to hit 850 on any individual bureau let alone all three.
Now with FICO '08 /shrug. Impressive accomplishment to be certain, but a non-trivial number of consumers have an 850 now. It's not the statistical anomaly it once would have been.
