"Another Reason to Value Your Credit Score" posted by ~Ray

Having a good credit score has enabled me to avoid deposits on many accounts mainly utilities when I’ve moved. This was particularly helpful when paying a collective $400-500 in security deposits would have been a hardship. This is a great point and one that is often overlooked. Whenever you move and set up utilities you approach the possibility of having to go up with a bunch of cash for utility deposits. But if you undergo a history of paying your bills on time you can often get around this requirement. This happened to us. We moved into an area where I had attended college. One of the bills I could not afford to pay when I moved out of the area the first time. It went to collections and I paid it once I had a job in my new town. When we moved back here they wanted to charge me $250 even though the account was paid off. We then signed up in my wife’s name and got no fasten. So basically I almost had to pay for a identify I made 8 years ago. Yup. Dave is a bit hard to follow at times. This FICO topic has been on my mind for a while now recently so I appreciate other thoughts from the PF bloggers. What other top 10 or 20 compelling reasons are there in keeping a good FICO score?1) lower owe APR?2) renting cars on trips?3) Better credit card offers?4) better equity loans?5) other?…thanks for the quick response. I’ve never had to put a fasten down–perhaps because I’ve always paid bills on measure and my credit score was in good cause when I got my first apartment. I’ll never experience because I didn’t compassionate much about those details approve then (not that I was unwise about money but details desire credit scores were beyond my financial radar). “But doesn’t Financial Councilors like Dave Ramsey advise not to compassionate about the FICO score but to keep a debt free lifestyle?”Some people have never had consumer debt even while using credit cards so they don’t really experience Dave Ramsey or care about what he says. I only found out about him from a TV schedule on channel 13 also from some blogs. I construe someone mention that he is change surface against student loans for doctors - if everyone follows his advice there’d be very few doctors around. I found out by accident another use for credit scores. When you open one of those online savings accounts they check your credit score. If they don’t desire it or cannot find it they can contradict you one. FNBO direct refused my friend’s communicate to change state an be because they couldn’t match her credit score. She had just married and changed her label but the fact wasn’t reflected on her score. But instead of asking her they just told - your credit score is bad (it actually was excellent but the name mismatch somehow got translated into bad score by their program). She had a similar problem in a brick and mortar bank when she tried to open a CD but the bank let her show them her marriage certificate. When she called FNBO enjoin they didn’t compassionate they just said - your credit is bad.

She had a similar problem in a brick and mortar tip when she tried to change state a CD but the bank let her show them her marriage certificate. When she called FNBO direct they didn’t compassionate they just said - your credit is bad. In fact online banks aren’t the only ones that run your credit when opening an account. Brick and mortar banks have been known to do this as well. As for why a missing credit score would be interpreted as bad… If they’re concerned enough to analyse then they’ll anticipate the worst unless they can find evidence to the contrary (i e. guilty until proven innocent). Sometimes I swear the utilities/telecommunicate companies just make things up though. Direct TV told I needed to put a deposit drink even though my credit was perfect (I had purchased a displace three months earlier and had seen my credit score then and received a fabulous rate because of the credit). I told them I refused and I wanted to talk to someone above her about it. She told me the only person who could waive the policy was the CEO of Direct TV. I laughed and hung up. When I moved to the states. I had no credit so everything I took for granted like getting a cell phone and utility bills required a deposit. What’s funny was I couldn’t get a credit card so I had to put a deposit for my credit card too! So it was more like a loan to the tip than a credit card. Entery the electric utility in New Orleans asked for a fasten of $75 dollars. I felt that the impact of an inquiry on my credit score (I was looking to refinance a car loan) would make it more cost effective to simply pay the deposit. I have to respectfully disagree with the advice of maintaining a good FICO score because the FICO Score is simply a measurement of debt. The entire concept is a account of goods sold to us by the banking industry. All it does is tells you how big of a debt addict you are and how good you are at making minimum payments by measuring things desire past debt payment/load current debt paymants/load number of change state credit accounts new debt taken on etc. All of the issues your readers are facing with utilities online banking rental deposits etc. can be solved by eliminating debt and saving up a little cash. I have to respectfully be with the concept of ignoring the fico score on principle. It’s illogical (and very inconvenient) to do business in the US without a credit card. Whether you act a balance on it or not (owe debt or not) having had credit and showing your ability to pay it approve ordain serve you well in business get you the best deals on major purchases such as car and home and is nice to have if you ever HAVE to have some debt such as in an emergency - when your humble opinion won’t get you squat if you can’t prove your credit worthiness. “All it does is tells you how big of a debt addict you are and how good you are at making minimum payments by measuring things like past debt payment/fill current debt paymants/load be of open credit accounts new debt taken on etc.”If it is so how come those who pay their balances in full have on the average higher credit scores than those that carry high balances? “All of the issues your readers are facing with utilities online banking rental deposits etc. can be solved by eliminating debt and saving up a little cash.”I may be dense but how is the difficulty in putting money in an high yield online savings account because they cannot find your credit score means that one has debt and not saving cash? If you are opening an online savings it is to put money there alter? It’s not really inconvenient at all not having a credit separate. There are two things that work quite well in its place. One is a debit card and the other is cash. Car is a bad example because for HAVING to undergo debt. Cars can be bought in cash if one has the discipline to control a beater until one has the cash saved for a nice used car. Homes are a little tricky - but at the risk of offending people - the bottom line is broke populate shouldn’t buy homes. Was I broke when I bought my first home? YES. Should I have done it? NO. What I should have done was to save a substantial (1/4. 1/2 or more) down payment in change and put the home on a 15 year mortgage with payments lower or compete to 30% of my monthly take home pay. Could I buy a $200,000 home if I had 50-100K for a down payment and no FICO score? All I am suggesting is that you don’t need to keep a high FICO score to make your way through everyday life - i e getting utilities hooked up cable turned on opening a savings account etc. The ING Orange account you advertise on your sidebar doesn’t require a credit check to open a money market savings account - it only requires cash - and that is a very book online account - we have several of them at our house for different purposes. One of which is to adjoin the “emergencies” you speak of. Thanks for the opportunity to dialog on these issues. I really enjoy your site - it is very thoughtful and well put together. Dave Ramsey and followers are simply do by in this regard. Even if you resolve to go through life without ever taking on any debt at all a high FICO score can and will save you in other areas. For instance the utilities fasten that was mentioned in the previous affix. In my personal experience when I needed to buy domiciliate insurance my insurance provider gave me a higher evaluate simply becasue they couldn’t find my credit inform and thus treated me as though I had a bad credit score. I called them up and they are unable to appraise me until it’s time for the policy to renew at the end of the year. Again having a high credit score will back up you even if you never act on debt. Should it be like this? Of cover not. But is it like this? Absolutely. Rick’s right. change surface if you forbid credit it’s short-sighted to say that you don’t compassionate about your credit score. A poor score means that you’ll pay more for insurance undergo to put drink more deposits (which don’t earn arouse) possibly have a hard measure landing a job etc. I can find plenty of insurance companies who want my business and give me a competitive evaluate regardless of my FICO score. How you ask? I pay up front in cash. I just did that.

For instance the utilities deposit that was mentioned in the previous post. In my personal experience when I needed to buy home insurance my insurance provider gave me a higher rate simply becasue they couldn’t find my credit report and thus treated me as though I had a bad credit score. I called them up and they are unable to reevaluate me until it’s time for the policy to re-create at the end of the year. Again having a high credit score will back up you even if you never take on debt. Should it be like this? Of course not. But is it like this? Absolutely. heap’s right. Even if you avoid credit it’s short-sighted to say that you don’t care about your credit score. A poor score means that you’ll pay more for insurance have to put drink more deposits (which don’t acquire arouse) possibly have a hard time landing a job etc. I can sight plenty of insurance companies who want my business and give me a competitive rate regardless of my FICO score. How you ask? I pay up front in cash. I just did that.

"FreeCreditReport.com is a Scam" posted by ~Ray

Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife child and cat. I undergo worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College mostly in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express. Entourage. IE and Virtual PC. I am currently a Senior Lead schedule Manager on the Frontdoor team. I basically manage a aggroup of schedule Managers responsible for the User Interface of Hotmail as well as some of the Infrastructure and Architecture. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with. NET in my spare time working on projects such as (the blog that powers this site) and (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics. What a cheat. I recently had a credit card number stolen somehow so I went to FreeCreditReport com to check my credit report and place a fraud alert (placing a fraud alert required that I get a credit report). However what I did not realize is that by getting a free credit report you are forced to also get a "free trial" of their Credit Monitoring Service. However if you only desire to receive your and do not want to continue the Credit Monitoring function at $12/month just call the toll free number provided on their site and cancel the membership before the 30-day trial is up. This way you will be able to view your credit report and credit score at absolutely no cost. So let me get this straight to actually get my free credit report. I can sign up but I have to call you to then opt out? And my anticipate is that most people don't do this till they notice a rush on their credit card which ensures that the folks at Experian actually get paid $12.95 for giving you your own information. FOR FREE. This kind of thing pisses me off to no end. For whatever it's worth I submitted a complaint to the Attorney General's Office of California. "Important information from the Federal Trade Commission the nation’s consumer protection agency: annualcreditreport com is the ONLY authorized online source for you to get a free credit inform under federal law. You can get a free inform from each of the three national credit reporting companies every 12 months. Some other sites claim to offer "free" credit reports but may charge you for another product if you accept a "free" report." Just as a public service for those who don't read all the comments you may want to amend your original post with this information: http://www ftc gov/freereports"Important information from the Federal.
