844 out of 869


I should be proud, but oddly, I'm just disappointed that it wasn't perfect.  Coming up 25 points shy is KILLING me.

What can I say - I'm an aspiring overachiever.

 Anybody out there with a perfect score?

In what?

Credit score.

Oh, thanks. Congratulations. That's very good.

I haven't the faintest idea what mine is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's lowish. I'm pretty lackadaisical about paying bills on time.

~~Silk, I was kind of obtuse, there. I don't know how to bring up that kind of thing without sounding like an a**hat. Which maybe automatically makes me an a**hat - I dunno.

From what I understand, computing a credit score is kinda like reading runes - there are all kinds of things that weigh differently, depending on which reporting agency is used. I used to get dinged because I'd never held (and paid) a mortgage.

I do know that the dude who did my financing said he'd only ever seen two perfect scores. Then again, maybe he was just saying that because I looked so crestfallen when he gave me the number.

Yeah, they also figure in your income and assets compared to your debts. I don't understand why, but if your debts aren't at least as high as your income and assets would support, then you get dinged. I think that's silly. My parents never borrowed, ever, not even for cars. They instead saved ahead for whatever they needed. My mother couldn't even get a credit card or open a checking account at a large bank because she had NO credit rating.

~~Silk, my folks were the same way! The only debt they ever carried was a mortgage.
