All you posters with lower EX scores, do you have some sort of feel for why they are lower than the others? (Lotsa inqs, BK's, whatever) I don't know why EX likes me so far, but I'm pitifully grateful, and I'd like to keep things smooth with them. You know my theories about EQ and lates and relatively short history.
They both blame the other. What I really want are the the two old ones to report and just forget about the blue card. I have the feeling if the two oldest report, my scores will go up quite a bit...just in time before I start apping again for a mortgage.
