Getting an even better mortgage rate than a 791 would get.
won’t make a difference.

+1. Anything above 780 won’t make a difference.

Any suggestions on how to bypass the automated menu for the three credit agencies?  The wiki is not up-to-date re phone numbers for Experian or how to bypass.  TIA.

Hey all. Have an Aviator Business card from Barclay. I mistakenly haven't paid it for about 6 months (Thought I was on autopay, don't ask). Today I get a letter saying that they are willing to settle at a 60% discount. My question to you guys is will it report on my personal credit as a settlement? It has not reported as late until now! Anyone know?

Is the wiki updated? My Citi Custom Cash gives me free monthly fico (bankcard 08) scores from Equifax, and I think its the same case with all Citi branded cards.
I'm new, but not THAT new. I've been reading awhile...

What did you end up doing here/what was the outcome?

Towards the bottom of every wiki it says the last edited date.

Without pull on? Getting your own score never triggers a hard-pull

Not reported unless it's 30 days late

You’re safe. You’ll likely get hit with a late fee and if you have a long history of on-time payments with this card (or issuer) they’ll oftentimes waive it as a one-time courtesy.

I had a fraud charge of 16K from united airlines on my card, I reported it etc.. but in the interim the statement closed with a 15K balance!

Should I be worried?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.
