No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
My score went up 5 points with Experian today. Its at 590 as of today. However, my other two fico score are in the 540 range. Anyone know when they will up-date? I also paid two state liens so I guess my utilization will decrease and hopefully my score will go up some more. I need to get the score in the middle to be at 620 to qualify for a mortgage. I'm not sure what else to do besides try and get some of the 30 day lates removed. Didnt have any luck today speaking with Wells Fargo.
if you can direct me on what I should do I would greatly appreciate it. I go turned down from BoA for a secured credit card and not really sure who to apply with. I dont need any more inquires on my report.
Cap 1 and US bank have secured cards.
I would also recommend SDFCU.

FICO scores are a snapshot of your credit at a given time. How often they change usually depends on items on your CRs changing/updating, but can also be affect by the passage of time, like increases in AAoA or old baddies falling off.
How soon are you looking to go for a mortgage? And what's your overall credit profile like?
I am planning on getting pre-approved in Jan or Feb 2015.
