In under 2 years, about 1 year and 9 months, I went from being only able to get a Cap1 $500 card and high 500 or very low 600 scores to what you see in my signature. And it was all from what I found in this forum. Don't get discouraged, it's not a sprint it's a marathon.
Repair then rebuild worked for me. Also the info, Love and support from this forum.
Thank you for sharing your story Cageym
I am taking a 2 part approach to my credit as well, only I have all my positive TL's growing while I attempt repair. Starting with a score of 388, I needed to get everything in order quickly! Congratulations on your success! I bet it feels good! Going from 388 to my now mid-500's felt really good for me so it can only get better from here. I won't know what to do with myself when I am over 600 on all 3.
Starting Score: EQ: 383 2/2011
That's what we're here for, to help each other out. If I keep just one person from giving up then I'm happy.
