  2. Credit score question...

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Hello, I worked for Experian for a year consulting on their web business, so I can have a little information here but I am not an expert. I'd be curious to know if you pulled a three credit union report, and how long it has been since you paid it off. I figure it will bounce back pretty damned fast once paid, probably a month or two. Payment history is one of the highest impacts on your score, but usually the first one is graced in. If you have a derogatory remark along with it, dispute that. It is a big factor as well.

    It sucks, but relax, it is not like we have debtor's prisons anymore. Fighting it is perceived as getting to a number that will get you better loan rates, but the number is only part of the picture. It will be rebounding while you try to fight the error.

    I took out 2 car loans and opened an Amazon.com rewards credit card in 2018. My average age of accounts tanked hard but everything else was kosher and rebounded in about three months. When I talked about a third car, my bank said the score was not a factor considering my history with them but warned me a new account would not look too great. they said the score might give me a heart attack to look at, but to relax, other factors mattered more.

    We'll see how technology and interest waxes and wanes.

    Back in the early days before YouTube, I owned the SEO for exotic videos. I had servers to host files, plus Real Player, and NetPlayer options to stream the videos. Even when YT started, they used to have the embeded player with playlist, so I leveraged that. I even monetized when it happened, it was something weak like 1k a month at peak with banner ads that were not intrusive but it was about sharing with like minded friends more than making a business.

    I want to make a thread about the growth of car content from 2000-present. I know I'll get crucified along the way, but it may just be a good series of historical notes.

    Interesting for me, this week I discovered the drama I totally missed about folks like cupgang vs solomandrin (sp?) and the supposed drama with VV, and the trust funders vs the social media kids. Everybody have always been fcuking each other over for social media status.

    Dougie D is starting to look really interesting by comparison.

    I ended up getting a GTI for a daily, great little car to rip around in.  No clue on the lease rate, but they were selling for about 25% off msrp not long ago.

    The GTI is nice and makes sense, whereas an Abarth is cheap, flimsy, and makes no sense. This absurdity makes it that much more fun to drive 10/10ths.

    Well, I don't advocate violence against anybody but I guess somebody finally got fed up with him. On his Instagram today he posted that somebody threw him on the ground and punched him in the face and he is talking about in his normal voice.  could have really happened, and I wouldn't be surprised if it did, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he was just putting it out there for more attention, but it sounded like he was being serious.

    Post was deleted? Wasn't Ace or I. We were at brunch with three beautiful ladies. Can't say I am surprised, or upset at all. Acting like a total ass, holding up traffic, disturbing the peace, so you're gonna get hit one day.
