What is your best "Fico Educated" guess for this...

For my wife who is a Authorized User on my CC (with current 10% utilization)  $4,000 CL - opened for 6 years.

No other financial history, etc.

What guess would her Fico Score be?

Just wondering... Smiley Happy

Guesstimate? If the CC was under 9% of the CL, and this TL is free of any derogs or comments than can impact FICO, and assuming there are ZERO TLs reporting, then I'd guess a 690, give or take 20.

Like ilecs I suspect it's in the ballpark of 700; however, AU's are funny beasts anyway, she should start getting her own credit profile established now, even if it's with just a pair of toy limit cards which rarely get used.

I would think maybe try for a Walmart card. Its a GE, and they are a good starter card, and you will get a free TU08 FICO score to go with it so you will know her FICO as well.


Starting Score: 693 TU FICO, 679 EQ FICO
Current Score: FICO 8 = 844(9/15) EQ, 827 TU, 811 EX (7/15); mortgage FICO= 758 (9/15)EQ5, 797 TU4, 748 EX2 (7/15)
Goal Score: 750+, but shooting for the 800's
Hyatt Visa Sig ($23K), Amex BCP (24.8K), BofA Travel Rew Sig (22.5K), B&N World MC (22.3K), Amex RP Gold (NPSL w/ S&T), Cash+ Sig (20K),United Mil+ExpSig (16.3K), FNBO Visa (13.1K), Hilton Surpass (10K), Freedom Visa Sig (8.6K), Disc It (16.4K), Citi Dia Pref MC (3.7K),Sam's MC (10K), Wally (7.5K), JCP(5.3K), Costco (2K)
