No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
"At least one account that has been open for six months or more" I have one credit card and on the report Date open 10/2008 when do I expect to have a score? Please help.
Thanks
KD,
While there is no real way to figure out where you will be, from experience in seeing things I see that most people just starting in building their credit start somewhere in the middle of the FICO score range, possibly the low to mid 600's. However, in todays credit environment I see alot of people with scores in the 700's but they are declined for short credit history. Good luck.
Thank you!
So I should have a score in March ? Any idea how many points? How FICO start point at? since I am just starting do I get 300 points?
Thanks

A good place to start is the first post or so of Credit Scoring 101, as well as Understanding Credit Reports & Scores.
Reading these should give you the basic background information to understand how scoring works and what you're likely to read on here about it.
