My journey rebuilding credit.

[Anonymous]

I'm a 31 year old who until Oct had no idea how to credit worked. In the last 10 years I've my highest score has been 669 on all 3 some way I always forgot to pay something on time. Well after my divorce and getting remaried, two businesses  and wanting to purchase a new home I figured I get a hold of this credit thing.

Oct,16. Fico 8 scores where EQ 622 / TU 612 / EX 598.

On my report I have Wells fargo Account 20 years old that I was authorized in how ever my father passed away so it hasn't been in use since 2008.

On regard to the Student Loans since my medical condition has gotten worse, I've applied for Permanent Disability thorugh the VA and should have a responce in less than 4 months. If 100% rating is given I will apply to get the student loans discharged without the 3 year waiting period.

Thanks to everyone who has helped along the way and the knowledge on this forum is Amazing!

Update***

I received a call from a Finance manager at Matco Tools and they offered to PFD I paid on the spot online, she confirmed and informed me she would send a letter with the PFD and the payment off. She said to wait 30-60 days before it falls off.

No news on the other GW letters.
