Hi DIYCredit,
Congratulations on your financial rebuild. From personal experience, it is so easy to become late/deliquent, and so hard to recover. BUT, it can be done as you have demonstrated by sharing your rebuild story with us here at the myFICO forums.
Your story will serve as an inspiration to others. There is light at the end of the dark tunnel.
Just remember to continue exercising sound financial decisions, and try your best to not be late on anything. If you see that is is going to happen, contact your creditors first as they might be able to "bend" somewhat.
*Kudos*
Thanks
Amazing Story, as others have mentioned it is good to see that it can be done
Outstanding recovery and success! Congratulations!
Congrats on your success. Thanks for posting the info in such detail. It really shows how important it is to get rid of any bad marks on your report. Keep up the good work.
