What country?

I hate to be a wet blanket, but if your credit score is already too low,
don't you think you should fix that BEFORE you go deeper in debt?

Just my opinion the matter.

Having a low score doesn't mean a person is in debt.  I know a woman
whose credit was destroyed through a nasty divorce.  She has no debt.
Will be awhile before her credit is restored.

Miles,

I DID NOT say he was in debt, I merely suggested he fix his score before
going deeper in debt.

By fixing his debt score, financing becomes a whole lot easier, am I not
correct?

Just common sense, Miles, just common sense.

How does one fix a bad score?  Sometimes it means you have overdue debt
that needs to be paid and cleared.  Other times there is no such debt.
The marks are left on a persons record for years.

Budd, point is that credit is based on taking out credit and paying it
on time.  If the person doesn't owe anything but still has bad credit
then about the only way is to start small with a new loan and pay it on
time.

I agree, you don't go out and borrow a large amount of money at a high
interest rate for something like an RV to improve your credit score.  Make a
few small credit purchases over the next year or so and try to pay for your
everyday expenses, groceries, fuel, etc, by cash or check.  Then see if your
credit score has improved enough, so you're not paying exorbitant financing
fees for a non-necessity item.

Fine, what the heck ever.

All you do in regards to me is make assumptions and find fault lately. That
is not being a friend.

Btw, if we ever get into another "discussion" about religious matters, I
will NOT lay aside the Bible as you want me to. It's my reference manual and
my beliefs, whether you like it or not.

I'm done with this thread.

What the heck is your problem Budd?  Can you only discuss things that
people agree with you on?  Thats not being very friendly.

Whoa here Budd.  I have never once told you where to stuff your Bible.
It is you whom have attempted to stuff it down my throat.  I have never
once told you that you are wrong for your beliefs.  It is you whom have
told that I am wrong.  You do not discuss, you attempt to lecture me and
others.  You have no respect for anyones beliefs except your own. That
Budd is not being a friend.  I respect your views and believe in your
right to them.  Respect others who differ in their views and be a friend
to them and just maybe they'll be a friend in return.  I have no need
for a 'friend' whom demands I believe as they do in order to be a friend.

Look, Miles, I told him the same thing Bob said, to fix (or improve) his
score and YOU jumped my case. If you don't agree with the two of us, then
who's more likely to be wrong between the three of us?

And you are a person that doesn't want, correction, REFUSES to hear what the
BIBLE says, as I've told you many times. What do I believe? Pick up a Bible,
any Christian Bible and that's what I believe. And yes, you have told me to
not use ( in your terms:"stuff") the BIBLE in our discussions.

Lecture? I tell you the blunt truth from the BIBLE and you don't want it or
can't handle it. That's your problem, and it makes what I say or prove to
you a lecture whether it is or not. So, I'm no longer wasting my time on
you.

I hope someday you wake up to the truth before it's too late. And don't say,
"truth isn't absolute." because that statement, if true, is an absolute
statement and you contradict yourself.

Now, shut up and I'll do the same.

What??????  I jumped on your case????  Budd, all I did was disagree in
part and explain why.  Geez!!  You're being overly sensitive here!!  I
never jumped on anything.

> If you don't agree with the two of us, then

I could care less.  I have an opinion and I'm not going to change it
because you and someone else disagree.  No more so that you'll change
your religious views if me and 10 others disagree with you here.

> And you are a person that doesn't want, correction, REFUSES to hear what the

No Budd.  I refuse to simply agree to whatever you say.  You just can't
handle that.  Too bad.

> What do I believe? Pick up a Bible,
> any Christian Bible and that's what I believe.

No Budd.  You believe in your vision of it despite your claims as to
otherwise.  You feel I am an athiest?  Guess again Budd.  I'm just not a
radical fanatic that has zero respect for differing views.  I'm just not
the type to try to lecture (you call correcting) those that differ in
their views as you do. I as many others do read and follow the Bible.
Just not the same way you do and that my friend is the trouble with
religion.  So many are just as you are and insist their view of it is
the ONLY one and everyone else is wrong despite them all quoting the
Bible.  There are no two Christians who fully believe and live identical
based on the Bible.  Your way dictates a bunch of mindless robots.

> Lecture? I tell you the blunt truth from the BIBLE and you don't want it or
> can't handle it.

Yes Budd, you lecture rather than discuss.  You feel everyone who
doesn't believe exactly as you do is WRONG.  You Budd are the one thats
wrong and your methods cause division and friction.  Something I do not
feel is what my God wants.  Your God must be someone else.  You feel you
must either convert everyone to your views or you fight, destroy or
ignore them.  History of wars right there Budd.  No thank you.

You just proved my point.  Either agree with whatever it is you say or
goodbye.  Really nice of you Budd.  Many read the Bible and flat out
disagree with you.  Guess they should slam you and give you some
corrections as well.  Will you listen?  Heck no.  Not your way.

Unfortunately the "credit reporting system" is screwed and screws
almost every one. In years gone by, we had paid off all loans on time
and had paid cash for everything. Then we needed to purchase a house
and found that we had no credit rating.

We now use a couple of credit cards that are automatically paid in
full each month, however we have been told that we cannot get a high
rating because we don't have enough debt. Plus, every time there is
any kind of a query as to our credit rating, it causes the rating to
go down.  You go into a car lot or RV dealer and give them the
information so they can check your rating (pre-qualifying you), that
action has caused your rating to lower. If you are going from one lot
to another, your rating keeps going lower.  The "credit monsters"
don't care about people that are truly responsible and those that save
and pay cash.

You have a firm grip on credit scores!! Credit cards that are paid off
in full every month don't count squat on credit scores. They are not
even reported to the credit agencies.  I haven't purchased anything on
credit other than with credit cards that are paid off in full every
month since 1986. My credit report shows absolutely no credit. Yet
someone that is up to their eye balls in debt has a rating and can
borrow more, or what galls me, get a better rate on insurance,
utilities, anything that the credit score is check against.  There is
something wrong with the system when those that manage to live within
their means are considered a credit risk!! They don't even want to see
a financial statement!!

I don't believe you're correct. For years we've paid our credit cards in
full by the due date. Recently I had cause to check my credit info because I
was turned down for a credit card. All 3 credit reporting firms had the info
on the credit cards we regularly use, ant the info reported was something
like, "paid within terms."

FYI, the reason we were turned down, by Walmart, is because we don't have a
land line phone, only cell. As full timers for over 5 years it is difficult
to have a land line.

I pulled my credit report from all 3 services in November and no
credit cards showed up, even the one with a $17,000 line of credit!!
Maybe it depends on who is handling the card payments???

One of the 3 should have showed it.  Maybe incorrect name spelling etc
somewhere?

Only way that could happen is either a serious mistake made on your
record or the lender you chose was 2nd or 3rd tier and did not report
credit and probably didn't require it for the loan.  Do you know exactly
what happened with your credit?

  The no credit rating is the thing.  Wife had the same
problem even though I had great credit.  She did not have
bad credit, just no credit rating.  Pulled a few tricks to
get her a credit  credit but things can get weird dealing
with credit. Everyone should pull their free yearly credit
report from the three major agencies.  You will be amazed at
what they have and what they have wrong!

That happens when every loan ever taken out is put with the same
individual listed 1st.  Usually thats the husband.  The wife ends up
with no credit rating at all.
