Does anyone else miss Fico04?

I gained a few points when EQ transitioned to 08 on here, but I miss the consistency that I got with v04. 

 

What ever happened to 'Don't fix anything that isn't broken?' 

 

Nevermind, if they got it right the first time then someone would be out of a job Smiley Very Happy

well my opinion on that is you at least have access to eq04 still via EQ. More choices is better don't you think ???

Haha, do you have old collections or collections under $100? Those seem to be the main selling points. I still miss v04 though.

I miss it dearly. I've got enough credit cards already; I'd rather keep track of my mortgage score.
