Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge!

[Beautyx2g]

Hello Im new to the forums. I decided to try the challenge and see where it takes me. my score is very low b/c I am rebuilding my credit. I am currently disabled and unable to work, so I'm already working with very liI. I'm starting small for a goal, but ultimately hoping to get in the 700's. I have been and will continue to monitor my score and reports, I will always pay my bills on time and I have been very good about doing that. The main thing that confuses me is that not all three reports are the same and that the companies do not always report to all three. I just hope in the end I can get in a good standing all around.

When I became FICO-aware in 2009, my scores were around 675. The forums and score watch products have been very educational. I am still learning and trying to improve with the continued help of myFico. Thanks!

Our ultimate goal is to get a great deal on our first mortgage in early 2013.

I hope I did this right.  Didn't know about this challenge until just now.

I want to apply for an auto loan sometime in the next year, so I want a robust credit score when I do. 

I currently have 735 (EQ) and want to get it to 750.
