Sorry.. I had it on the application forum so I thought might be redundant... Here it is..
I applied and denied for a BoA secured card 2 years ago and in the letter, my Ex FICO was 493.
I read thru as many posts as possible and learnt a lot and today my scores are EX-702, TU-803 & EQ-703.
I got an EE from TU, for a collection I had. My score was 694 and when it was removed it shot up 109 points and landed me in 800 world.
