Congrats! DCU is pretty conservative so $5K is impressive with that score. I have a 688 and I'm still stuck at my $1K SL 13 months later. 


Thank you!

 

I was extremely surprised myself! EQ has been my one clean report since November. The only numbers I have are almost a month old at this point. I joined a CU about 5 months ago, but they were super conservative, and only pulled EX so I wasn't seeing any love at all.


That's probably it. I'm not clean. I'm 688 because of my BK. That should go up quite a bit when EQ takes the BK off in a few months. 

I like DCU regardless though. I'm throwing money in the savings account too.

Re: Spring forward into DCU

CONGRATS!!  I've been thinking about DCU (again) myself.  Unfortunately some of my longest- running open accounts are my overdrafts.  I guess a Savings account couldn't hurt. 


Rebuilding is like smoking a brisket: it takes a lot of love, the right spice, and a ton of patience. You don't rush a brisket-- it goes low & slow. Sometimes, you need a crutch through the stall. In the end, the process matters.
2021 goals: 
1) GARDEN until I app for Mortgage.
2) Pay Down overall revolving debt aggressively and accountably, to under 30%, including my HELOC.  
3) Don't waste the gifted 0% time on the student loans. 
4) Ultimately, refi the house at non-usury terms.

My hope is that this approval will keep me until the rest of my reports are clean. EX told me 12/23 is the last negative removal date, 11/23 for the other one. 🤞

Thank you! Their interest rates are insane! It's a relationship I'm hoping build up.

Re: Spring forward into DCU

congrats! just remember that they don't report your statement balance. they report whatever's your balance on the last day of the month.
