Thank you, myFICO forums.

Thanks to these forums, I am on the fast track to awesome credit. I started out mostly as a new file but I did have one collection on record. I successfully did a PFD on that, which I didn't even know was an option until I visited these forums. Now I was able to get my BofA secured card unsecured early and got a CLI from $500 to $2500 the same day. I'm getting prequalified offers galore which just 9 months of credit history and I couldn't have done it without the advice I found here. Now I'm balancing my UTI between $0.01 and 9% as well as pacing my applications before I go into the garden about 6-9 months before I apply for a mortgage. Now I find myself sitting over 700 for my credit scores and it is largely due to these forums. Now it's time to get my wife's credit all fixed up!

My Fico EQ: 749
My Fico TU: 754
My Fico EX: 753
