My credit history just hit 6 months yesterday so I was able to generate my first Fico Score yesterday.... My credit report is so clean and fresh.... 

 

Am still in College and I didn't really care about credit before as I always buy everything with cash. Even the 2 cars I have right now was bought with cash but last summer I went to Miami for vacation and I wanted to rent a car but they refused to rent me a car without a credit card even with cash..... So that was when I know how important credit is and that made me to start building my credit...

 

this morning I went to my local credit union bank and they pull my transunion..... They approved me for auto loan 20k, personal loan 10k and visa credit card 5k with just one pull......

 

my car loan is 2.5% rate

personal loan is 7% rate

Visa card is 10% rate

 

am surprised with the rates

 

transunion: 720 (1 inquiry)

equifax: 700 (2 inquiry)

experian: 710 (2 inquiry)

 

in my wallet:

 

cap 1 secured: 200

walmart store card: 6k

Cu visa: 5k

 

i was in shock I never knew I could achieved all this in 6 months And am surprised to have that high score with just 6 months of credit history...

 

am not really a credit addict so I won't be applying again for any other card as I don't need them for now.

 

Thank You All🍾🍷

 

 

Note: Transunion removed all the 5 hard inquiry which am surprised so when they pull my transunion there was no hard inquiry in there. Right now I only have that one pull which is from my CU on my transunion.....  I know those inquiry will come back some day lol


Congrats on your success.  You are off to a great start with your credit life.   Protect it like you would any precious asset.  Best of luck in your future.

Great job.   

 

The advice my father gave me is this: always pay your bills on time, never charge what you don't have, and always pay your credit cards in full.  If you do that, you will continue to have great credit.

Starting FICO 8's (7/2016) EQ 715|| TU 743 || EX 762
Current FICO 8's (10/2022) EQ 838|| TU 828|| EX 826
Goal FICO 8's: 780 across the board - Goal met 9/2018;
Next Goal FICO 8's: 800 across the board - Goal met 10/2022

Re: Wow new Approvals

The never charge whst you can't pay is very very good advice ! I in my younger years thought credit cards were just something you didn't have to pay back, thank goodness I never got any back then bc I'm sure the end results would hAve been devestating.
