So I've started my journey in attempt to be ready to purchase my families' first home in January of 2016. Coming into this I didn't know where to start and I felt hopeless. Now, the further I get into my journey the more empowered I get. The people on this forum have been life savers. I never would have imagined that owning a home was a possibilty with my credit situation, but now the dream feels so close even though I have a ways to go I know that I'm getting closer to that day when I finally close on the home my family so longs for. Heres where I'm at so far...

So far, so good! I'll be keeping up!
And GOOD job on the apartment collection.
Congratulations on the progress. It looks like you have been able to get about half of your original "baddies" removed. You should be really proud of your efforts!
Great job so far! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome progress!!!
i commend you for your efforts and being so diligent attacking these baddies. keep up the good work! i am rooting for you
EQ deleted TXU energy CO after reporting it for its inaccuracy. EQ score jumped 30 points! EX jumped 10 points also, not sure why though. Still waiting on EX and TU to follow suit with the removal and hopefully reach 600 across the board very soon!
