TheGoldenEel posted... The user I quoted did say that Not specifically Taking out a loan to pay for a house or car is not considered "bad financial behavior". Buying video games, TV's, vacations, going out to eat, etc. all on credit is. This is pretty easy to understand. I had a college friend who completely tanked his credit because he decked out his apartment in expensive furniture and electronics, racking up like $15k in credit card debt. It took him years to dig himself out. ... Copied to Clipboard!

s0nicfan posted... There's also the fact that the credit scores you're given online aren't even guaranteed to match the scores that lenders are given. The fact that there are multiple formulas, none of which anybody is given access to, combined with the fact that they don't even have to give you a real calculation, means that nobody really has a good sense of exactly how credit works, which is a problem. yep still bitter about the time I paid $30 for my Equifax credit score from Equifax so I could try to refinance my car loan without a hard inquiry dinging it a few points. they said I had a 673. I knew I needed at least a 650 to get the rate I was aiming for. Went to the bank, applied for the refinance, and their Equifax score came back as 635. So not only did I waste $30, I dinged my score a few points anyway. --- https://i.imgtc.com/MGGa6Os.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

Prismsblade posted... Idk anything about this formula you speak of and never needed it. Just do what the they tell you to do on the FICO page and you're have a high score in due time. Although it may take longer then some depending on your history.Lol fuck off, my score is over 800, that doesn't change the fact that the whole system is fucking scam.
