  4. Back in November my local bank notified me that my credit score had dropped—an identity thief had made seven credit applications in my name. After repeated failed attempts to reach #capitalone by phone (one of the banks the thief had applied to and who had made a hard pull on my credit report) I sent them a letter with a copy of my credit report and a description of the situation. I got a letter back from them today asking for…a letter and a copy of my credit report. #CreditScore #IdentityTheft

  5. So.. last month I did nothing and my credit score dropped 20 points. This month I did nothing and its up 50 points.

    I'm saying *this* is the definition of insanity.

  6. Good news for Californian's who rent. You can now build your #CreditScore by requiring your #Landlord to report positive on-time rental payments to a credit reporting agency! 📈 There's a few limitations (larger than 15 units, etc) - all the deets here, from CA DRE's 2025 Tenant & Landlord Guide:

  7. There was a #DataBreach, and my sister emails me, saying she knows I'm in the same system, so I have to take care of it, and to go to these three websites to freeze my credit. So I try to make an account at the first one, and it fails twice. Ditto the second. So she says she'll come over and do it with me to see where things are going wrong.

    She tries making an account at the third place, and it also fails. Different browsers, different emails, different phone numbers: nothing works. And the the automated text system says to try X, which fails. Then Y, which does as well. Then the live help suggests Z: ditto.

    Finally she gets a different person, and they finally tell her what's wrong: I don't exist.

    I lead a simple life. I have a debit card, but I've never had a #CreditCard. So I have no #CreditScore. So as far as all the credit agencies know, I don't exist, and trying to make it so no one can take out a credit card in your name, when you don't yourself already have one, is surprisingly difficult.

  8. I wish my parents gave me books about investing instead of magazines about cars.

  9. @smurthys I haven't used it, but it looks like they are helping people gain a better credit score in a system that is stacked unfairly against such people. Some people know the tricks to gain higher score, this service is probably sharing access to such knowledge to everyone else.

  10. So question for home owners (especially first time home owners) - did your credit score take a hit? How long did it take to recover?

    We purchased back in August, and aside from a little blip, I'm back up into the 800s.

  11. Trying to understand the #CreditScore system (in the UK) as it seems it might be useful one day if I need to make a loan...

    Told that I needed a credit card to help with it so I got one. I don't need it and don't want to pay any fees so my credit usage is 0%.

    Now told "it appears you aren't using any of your credit, so there's more you can do to improve this" and "Lenders prefer to see that you're using at least some of your credit".
    ... Whyyyy 😣

  12. Sure, it's good to promote healthier life #habits, but doing so via #CreditScore still seems to be a way to punish the #poor for being poor (and thus having to do grocery irregularly, esp. for those living check-to-check). Also, desire to seek more #correlation with #creditworthiness will result in more and more factors being collected, furthering various biases... Not to mention #privacy...

  13. Screenshot for posterity - we close on our first home next week and I just hit 800 on my credit score.

    I know that'll go down but by how much/how long it will take to recover - that's TBD.

  14. Your personal brand is much like your credit score. You don't really think of your credit score often, but that's precisely the point :) You need to know what affects your personal brand, much like your credit score, and how you can improve it! tinyurl.com/brandcredit

  15. Medical debt is extensive in the U.S. It affects two in every five Americans, according to the health policy research organization KFF, and a vast majority have debt in the thousands.
