Re: Credit Scores in the 400s. Reality check.

@collics woohoo! Congrats! Hopefully the climb starts really moving now!

 

I also just finally hit 600+ across all 3Bs and it feels so good!

 

Once my SO got to the 600s, his climb seemed to happen quicker than when stuck under 600.

 

Keep us posted!

Re: Credit Scores in the 400s. Reality check.

@Anonymous Thanks so much and congrats to you also!!

When I started I remember reading threads about credit journeys and seeing people say it took 1-2 years before they got to their goal scores. But they never complained about that time.
Now that I've been going through it I completely understand. 

I didn't wreck my credit overnight and it's gonna take time to get it up again. I get excited about these 3-5 point increases because every point counts!

Don't mean to bump but I clicked page one and saw my OP. 

Astounded I literally said a goal was to refinance with Navy and I actually did it.

Re: Credit Scores in the 400s. Reality check.

Trying to clean up reports. Sent lots of letters to bureaus and creditors. I guess one worked so far.

Every one of those is a win and any points increase is earned. You're working really hard on this @collics  - I can't wait to see the day the last one is gone Smiley Happy
