Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

I have read around and still don't understand the point of "freezing" one of the credit scores. In what scenario is it used and how is it done?

In certain scenarios when banks pull from two reports you can "lock" one so you don't get a credit pull on that one.v you can call

Or if they primarily pull from one you don't have the best score on. Freezing that report and trying to get them to pull a different one instead, can be beneficial.

Shouldn't be an issue. Give them your mileage plus number and then check that it went through.
