It's been a long road and I never thought it was possible but I finally got a perfect credit score. It's with TransUnion, my Equifax is at 843. I use five credit cards, keep the post balance below $50 and pay it to $O, after it posts. I know it won't stay there but nice to see after all these years.

I always thought the 850 was an unreachable carrot, also like the disclaimer my bank posts.
.
The score provided here is FICO® Score 8, which is based on TransUnion® data and may differ from other FICO® Scores. Variations may also occur when your score is based on data from another consumer reporting agency or calculated at a different time. Bank of America and other lenders may use different scores and other information in credit decisions.

Mine is in the 830’s. At 37 years old not to shabby it’s something I take pride in for sure. I like when I go to buy a vehicle and the dealers say let’s see if you can get approved and I’m like buddy that angle isn’t gonna work with me lol.
From the time my score went over 750 or so I never had a problem qualifying for anything at the lowest offered rate. Which is why I have no desire to play the game and get closer to 850.

I don’t have a mortgage that’s in their books, don’t have a car payment or other installment loan. Adding another card or two would bring my utilization down that’s about the only thing I kightndo

tough feat to concur.

I know that every credit lender uses different credit reporting agency so sometimes your report could be all over the place depending on what was used to get your info.

But, that's part of the trick credit repair companies do. All 3 reports are supposed to be within X of each other. If one is significantly lower, take the higher two to the third and the third will come up. Just one of the many games they play

I'm sitting pretty good with about a 825

If you have a good credit score, there's no reason to even consider using a dealer to finance a car... use your bank or a credit union, especially if buying used. Dealer finance departments are about as shady as they come to begin with, especially with trying to rip you off adding warranty crap or protection plans.

My FICO is 850
My Transunion is 831
My Equifax is 836

Depends on the reporting agency and when they last looked at your CC balances, home loan balance, automotive balance, etc.

FICO seems to be the easiest to get and keep at 850. Never seen my Transunion or Equifax go higher than 836.

Strange.

My Transunion is always a good 20 pts lower than Equifax

I have an 813 but I paid off my car and the $1300 I had on one card so I wonder what my score will be in a month or two. 825?

when I first paid off my truck my score crashed pretty hard, 2-3 months later was back to where it was. To me that just proves it's largely a bullshit
