fused,

There's a whole lot more diversity of opinion on CIC. Lots of things get discussed that cannot get discussed here. In terms of what I know and have learned, MyFico cannot hold a candle to CIC and CB.

I did not spend enough time to even try and formulate an opinion about the quality of info at that site.  I will say, some of the posts were very unfriendly and was wondering if that is the norm there.

Stick 11K people together on one forum, some small percent who are going to post regularly, and yeah you can expect a tone to kick up now and again.

In direct response to your question, no, I don't see that as the norm. In fact, I see numerous examples of posters going outta their way to post useful info while attempting to dissuade folks of some asinine pre-conceived notion they will not abandon.

I must say there are topics over there not discussed here.  Especially relating to inq's: bumping which it turns out can be dangerous and also disputing any inq's that do not have a TL attached to them.

CIC\CB and MyFICO are not one in the same.. There are many tactics on credit repair sites that while can be effective are very unethical and can get you into trouble. MyFICO forums are dedicated to learning more about scoring and improving your credit accurately, ethically, and without danger.

I agree!

There are a great many things one cannot discuss here because of the rather broad description of "credit repair" held by FI legal. It's their right to do, but one is daft to believe there isn't a wealth of legal information out there that ain't allowed on MyFico.

On the flip side, there are collector forums where a whole lot worse things are discussed.

^^ Good call. The credit repair forums having nothing on the collector sites.
