here we goooooo!

i'm about to buy my 3 reports for the first time in 8 years.

surgery and divorce in 06, so i took my cash and spent 6 years in venezuela, curacao and bonaire on a sailboat. drinking rum punches and, well, you know.

i've been back in the states for 2 years and have taken baby steps back to the working world and made 32k last year. i got my free EQ a few months ago (666) and saw a lovely tax lien (i paid all my other bills before i left and made my CS payments from overseas). i also saw that i still have a CITI card at home depot with a 5k limit (last reported 06') so i went on a mini spree where the max CL approved was 500 (lovely wallmart gave me a store card with 150, that was a mistake i think). they all have reported on CK and my UTIL should be 1% so wish me luck! kind of scary because you just... never... know. lol

i must have blown a security question, i think it was a car loan question ( i paid off 3 loans before i left and cant remember much about the amounts)

You are way ahead of where I was when I took a deep breath and started to rebuild. Good luck, it just takes time. Good luck! PS - loved the sailboat bit, I have a cheap, rickety sailboat that goes nowhere fast :-(.

   yeah mine is nothing great, i flew to venezuela after my divorce and they had just kicked all of the american workers out of BP oil. a friend told me one of them was selling his boat and asking 78k, i made a 22k offer cash and i was the owner of a 1976 42' irwin. all new stuff aboard. i sailed it to curacao and that was pretty much home base for awhile. it was great for after divorce but a pretty hard life without any of the comforts of home. the boat is still in curacao and for sale but it has been 2 years so it is going nowhere fast also.

your scores are great, you did a nice job rebuilding!!
