  • Perfect credit score

    I've always wondered if anybody actually got an 850 FICO score. Now I know. Our Discover statements came yesterday and they report the FICO score. My wife's score was a perfect 850. So I guess it is possible. Mine was a measly 844 but I guess I'll have to live with that.

      I was able to check on ours a few weeks ago, and I think it was only 770. We get dinged for not having enough debt payments.

        Nice! Congrats.

        My wife applied for her first credit card in her own name. Her credit score was 779. Mine on the other hand was only 766. I've had credit for years. Lol. Go figure.

                No she doesn't. Why do you say that?

                  A good credit rating is essential for financial achievements. A credit score is a 3 digit number measured from your data-rich credit record and is one aspect used by creditors to figure out your credit reliability for a mortgage, loan or credit card. Your rating can impact whether or not you are authorized as well as what interest rate you are billed. A good credit rating is normally regarded to be 720 or higher.
                  Well done! You have excellent credit scores 850 and 844.

                    Congratulation, it is a good news if you will have 844 scores. Hope you will get that much.

                        Congrats for having your's wife credit score to be perfect. Don't be unhappy if your's credit score is not a perfect one because you can repair your credit score. you just don't need to live with that. So, repair it as soon as possible.

                          Wow! Congratulations. I’ll make it to that 850 one day. Right now, I’m at 800.

                            I just received my FICO score and they raised the upper limit to 900! I got a 876 which does not surprise me because of my age (68 years old) and length of credit experience. I always handled my financial responsibilities well.
