Where did you get your scores from? As of last February, it is impossible to pull your EX FICO score. If you got your EX score from the same source as your TU and EQ scores (other than from a lender), then you don't have any FICO scores. If this is the case, you may want to pull your two FICO scores from this website. The advantage is not only do you get to see your two FICO scores, but within the reports, it'll tell you what is hurting your score and what is helping your score. You can use that info to springboard into improving your scores and credit.
Do you have any open CCs reporting? If not, getting that first one is tough. Would you be open to getting a secured CC from somewhere?
Welcome to the forums and thanks for your service!
Thank you for your quick response, I bought the Suze Orman FICO Kit and that is where I recieved my TU and EQ FICO Scores and then I went to annual credit report and got EX but I figured the EX was wrong it just didnt seem right, and to answer your second question my wife and I do not have any credit cards and we are debt free except for one auto loan, and getting our first CC is seeming to be tough basically what is they best place to get one and is getting a secured CC a good way to go. I just need to start somewhere that will be a positive gain in the future do you have any suggestions.

USAA is harder to get with a BK wait until that falls off then reapply. Since your Military I'd go with NFCU try the unsecured if thats a nogo then go with the secured NFCU they are awesome and you won't waste your inq being turned down.
