Hey all!
After lurking on this forum for 2 years, joining in 2011 and spending many, many hours here working on rebuilding my terrible credit, posting and replying here, I am proud to say I had my first 800 FICO score appear! Granted, it's a FICO 8 (Equifax), but seeing that 800 brought a huge smile to my face.
I say none of this as a brag at all. It has taken me over a decade to get here while rebuilding my credit and finances. I just wanted to share this as a reminder that the work you are doing will pay off in the end, and even when it feels most daunting, keep at it and you will get through it!

Nice!
Welcome back @rckstrscott with the great news. Congrats! 800 is 800. Who cares when it lands.
Congratulations! Your hard work paid off!!
I know the rebuilding struggle. This forum (and posts like this) kept me going through my rebuild. I learned so much. It takes a lot of time and dedication.
Congrat to you! I'm working to get there myself, hopefully in the not too distant future.
Congratulations!! @rckstrscott 👍x800!!

Congrats man! regardless of it being FICO 8 or not, 800 should make anyone happy after a rebuild. Congrats
800 is a huge milestone, in fact it's probably the top layer. congrats man!
Thank you for sharing your story! As a rebuilding who has taken a longer time than many I've seen on the threads, it's encouraging to see the results of sticking it out. 👍
