Finally, I Got the Lowest FAKO Score with Credit One

Hey Folks,

 

This is cool. When I first signed-up with Credit One, the Ex Fako was 555. I used my card, paid my bill. The score jumped to 605.

 

Then, I started getting other cards. The score slowlery dropped. Each time I got a card with a "prime" lender, the score dropped more.

 

So, today, my Credit One score is 401 (400-900). Yet I have Chase, Citi, Barclay, CU, GERB etc.

 

How low can you go?
