First score alert

I never really worried about my credit score because I did not own a home I owned my car and I paid cash for everything well that went on for 15 years and know I am paying for it.
� 
I pulled my credit report for the first time� ever 10 days ago and it suckedSmiley Surprised. I now have a good job and I'm getting older so I went to look into a home loan and I heard the term SUBPRIME for the first time in my life.
� 
I decided to take a year and get my credit in order and I am happy to say that in 10 days I have gone up 10 points and all it took was a little understanding of how the system works and the great advice on this site.
� 
Good luck to every one,
�

First fiscal responsibility, then play the game  Smiley Very Happy
 
Get some cards, wait 12 months for the inqs to drop off and for the cards to have their first birthday, have a perfect credit history over that time, and you should be in good shape
The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid
