weird credit score thing
« on: March 22, 2011, 10:40:52 AM »
i looked up my wifes credit score on the equifax 30 day free trial. i opened it right after paying off our bills it showed her utilization as 0% and score as 727 on all three bureaus. but the simulator showed if she utilized like 5% of her credit it would go up to like 780 is that rly strange?

Banks want to see that you use credit responsibly.

How easy is it to cancel the free trial?

That score from Equifax is a fako -- not a Fico score. There is no single place you can get your Experian, Equifax and Transunion Fico score without applying for credit.
