Acronyms Thread for the Uninitiated
AJK:
Wiki list of abbreviations: http://www.dansdeals.com/wiki/Acronyms
As suggested by another DDF poster, I wanted to start this thread to translate some of the acronyms used here on DDF and elsewhere.
To make this as useful as possible, I'd suggest the tangential comments be limited to a minimum. I'll start with a few:
AFAIK - As far as I know
IIRC - If I recall correctly
CL - Credit line
CB - Credit bureau
PL - Priceline
IANAL - I am not a lawyer
IME - In my experience
AFAICR - As far as I can remember
IMHO - In my humble opinion
and my personal favorite, TWTCSIN - The worse they could say is no.
Cholentfresser:
AFAIC - as far as i'm concerned
GIYF - google is your friend
OP - original post/er
AJK:
TU - Transunion
Exp - Experian
Eq - Equifax
E's - Experian + Equifax
