FICO score shock

I just received my new AMEX BCE card in the mail today.  I went through all of the paper work but could not find my credit score anywhere.  So, I called Amex and asked if I could find out just for curiosity.   When the lady told me what my score was I thought I heard her wrong and asked her to repeat it.  She said that my EX FICO score was 834.  She also commented that she hadn't personally seen a score that high.  I must say that I was completely shocked, especially since I have never really tried to attain a score of 800.  Anyway, I just wanted to share the good news with all of my Fico forum friends.

Congratulations!

 

That is an exceptionally high score. Is your EX file different from your EQ or TU files?


I have reestablished credit over the last couple years
so my moniker is, well, rather out of date.

Re: FICO score shock

My TU an EQ files reflect a four year old civil judgment against me that I continue to fight,  due to a contract dispute.

Re: FICO score shock

Thanks for all of your "congrats", it's appreciated.  I am still stunned by the score.  Guess it will take me a little time to come back down to earth.
