Re: How many credit unions do you belong to?

I belong to PSECU. Love them. Free EX FICO. I'd like to join PenFed but want to get my scores up and a few inquiries to drop so I can be eligible for their credit cards. They are quite conservative from what I have read.


Starting Score: EX: 575 (PSECU 5/2/12) TU: 582 (3/6/12) EQ: 664 (4/27/12)
Current Score: EX: 699 (PSECU 06/04/14) 702 (my FICO 08/05/14) TU: 699 (08/01/14) EQ: 675 (07/08/14)
Goal Score: 720

They offer loans and credit cards at interest rates significantly lower than a traditional bank.

Some of them, like NFCU, are much more lenient when offering new credit to people with previous credit problems.  They would probably offer you a high credit line, even with a low FICO, but you would have to qualify for membership.

Damn, none of my family members are in the Navy or any other military affiliated service.
