thanks robert for the info; so basically although i already have a major cc with a 20k limit from navy fed credit union your telling me I have to get one more cc to break into the mid to high 700's? correct me if i'm wrong thanks


I bet you can hit 800 with that one CC. You'd also have to have CLEAN reports with no lates or derogs and some lengthy history too.

Re: WHAT DO I NEED TO DO ABOUT SCORE?

well i will love to hit 800 with one cc I really don't believe in having more then one cc its no point 1 is just good for me, i never understood the reason why people have more then one cc, but i really would like to get my score up in the mid 700's to get the best rates posable. I did however call the bmw dealership and the fiance guy said i would however qualify for their best rates with my current score but i'm not sure if i want to believe that , for some reason i think yo credit score needs to be in the 750's to get the best rates and my 685 trans and 717 equifax  is not quite there yet

You might start a new thread in Auto Loans talking about what BMW told you. I bet you'd get specific advice about BMW there.
