Thanks to the help I've gotten from here I've raised my score 112 points in 6 weeks.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>A couple days ago I found something I wanted for my car. No, not rims. I was trying to find a way to buy this $800 item so i thought a personal loan would work. And its not just for the car. This is also a way for me to build credit. So for the next 11 months, I pay $50. Cant wait to cross the 700 mark!!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>By the way, its true. Credit Unions seem to be easier to get a small loan from.&nbsp; What I did to make sure my chances were good and so this wouldnt put another inquiry on my report was I printed out my credit reports along with MYFICO credit score. I took all that to the credit union and said "don't run my credit unless you're sure I will get the loan because I dont want my score to be dinged just to be rejected."&nbsp; They were confident so I filled out the forms. And got it!</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:43:56 GMT JasonBourneOfCredit 2010-03-15T20:43:56Z APPROVED for $500 personal loan! https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/APPROVED-for-500-personal-loan/m-p/650516#M100688 <P>YAY!
