Hello, love this forum. Long time lurker and everything is so helpful. I'm in rebuilding process since I didn't take my credit seriously during my 20s.

Goals for this year is to have scores close to 700 all across the board and most likely garden until the following year.

Re: Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge 2021!

I am brand new to the forum, but have been chipping away at cleaning up my FICO for about a year. I had planned to get all my CC debt resolved by the end of the year or sooner and work on clearing out my two voluntary repo's from the last two years. Plans changed when my landlord informed me I can't renew my lease at end of June and need to move - immediate goal is maximum short-term gains to hopefully squeek out a mortgage on a new place, end of year goal is solid 640 foundation I can breathe easier from and fix the rest.

Starting Score: 558
Current Score: 558
Goal Score: 600

Welcome to the forum.  I've visited the forum off and on for a few years but recently also started getting more serious about improving my credit for a mortgage. There are a lot of great resources and knowledgeable members here that can help

 

You stated your goal was 640?   Is that your Fico8 goal or the mortgage score goal.  Usually lenders will use your MMS or middle mortgage score.

After divorce, the pains of starting over have been giving a me new sense of freedom. I ready to reclaim all the "credit' I deserve, by managing my credit utilization and increasing CL's.

I have had this account for a minute but haven't posted yet (1st one) and don't get on often. Figured now would be a good time to start. My credit took a dip at the beginning of this year (720 to about 670) after an apping spree. It is now around 690.

 

My goals for 2021 are:

  • increase my FICO score
  • increase my Discover & Citi credit lines
  • and garden so I can app for Chase in 2022
