Re: Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge 2021!

Hello all. I joined late in the game during the 2020 challenge, but I'm continuing on my credit journey.

 

For 2020, this is what I accomplished:

1) Paid off all collections, charge offs, and past dues

2) Removed all of my collections accounts 

3) Got approved for the NFCU cash rewards CC

4) Raised my credit scores by ~150 points 

 

For 2021, my goals are as follows:

1) Pay off a predatory loans I took out previously (in good status)

2) Receive a CLI for my NFCU CC and be approved for another NFCU CC

3) Let my credit age

4) Raise my score to 750

5) Purchase a business 

 

Happy 2021 all!

Re: Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge 2021!

This is my first time preticipating in this challenge. I have just a few goals that I would like to share. 

1. I would like to get in with chase(freedom flex) & Amex(gold or platinum ) for travel. + join NFCU.

 

2. AZEO for every month this year.

 

3. Help my younger sibling start building credit.

 

As I just entered the world of credit last year I need to graduate from my disco secured card + cap1 secured card. I plan to keep reading this forum and educating myself and others around me about credit. I read somewhere on here "a good friend won't let you earn 1% back" haha

More power to you, esp. #3   You're awesome to do this.

Yeah, that 1% thing is funny.

Happy 2021!

I started back in March 2020, but joined the challenge in October or November last year.

Baby steps, with occasional large jumps lol

@Anonymous those occassional large jumps are nice.  Keeps the motivation level high.  What about your sibling? Is he/she eager to start building?  When I first started helping my ds and dil I was surprised how quickly their scores climbed and surprised at some of the limits they got, or cli's they received.  It's pretty fun cuz I was doing for them the things I wished I had done for myself, including avoiding certain products.  A lot of it is in the timing itself.
Good Luck!

Current Score: EQ8 771, TU8 766, EX8 775 as of March 28
