samdubs · ‎04-12-2013

I just got the Equifac Score watch and my FICO score went up 40 points!! Doing a happy dance. I Good willed a few late payments and got my credit utilization down to below 10%. I also got approved for a AMEX through USAA with a 1000 limit. I started at 572 last month with myfico and got a lot of great information off this forum!!
