Stay strong and as far as scores there is no way to judge a fako vs fico score 

I would say the 100 pt difference is not real and you probably didn't lose as much as displayed through any fako i.e ....CS, CK etc etc 

Hope your walmart score gives up a better insight (real fico)


Sorry...guess I should have said those were both FICO scores; EQ from myFico and EX from AMEX.


Hi JustJen

That is interesting my EQ score for some reason has always been lower than the other 2 agencies throught history, can't explain that eitherSmiley Sad

Is it possible that your last app pulled EQ? If not I would get a copy of EQ just to be safe there's nothing else going on with that report...Just to be safe 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Garden Club Meeting - May 2013

Wow. I work in the business/hr department at my firm. We mail out checks for our business cards. We mailed them on the 18th, they arrived on the 24th. 

 

They were due on the 23rd. We were hit with $35 late fees + an additional $1.xx charge for each CC. That's around 40 cards. 

 

Smiley Surprised

 

Shocking. Luckily we're financially well off, but what about for businesses that aren't? What about for regular people?

 

I'm glad I'm in the garden and learning so much about how to properly use CCs.

Current Cards: AMEX Everyday ($15k), AMEX BCE ($20k), Amex Platinum, Arrival ($11.5k), Merrill+ ($7.5k), Freedom ($5k), Double Cash ($6.5k)

2/16 - 864 Fico EQ (CITI); 818 Fico Ex (AMEX)

Bummed. Heard back from Sallie Mae and they informed me that they ~only report the truth~ and that 90 day late from 2011 is going to REMAIN, LADY. My kid's being a terror. I need distraction ;--;

Chase - 500

Hopefully I would not require manual application review in 6 months.
