I'm new the boards here and really looking for some advice on how or which approach to use to get rid of some baddies. I applied for a mortgage loan about 2 weeks ago and I did the rapid rescore and got my FICOs. They used TU because that was where it showed the biggest increase would be. It went from 560 to 590 by just paying one credit card down to a balance of $40 in 2 days. I have the credit report the lender pulled plus the 3 free credit reports. I stayed up all night (couldn???t sleep for thinking about this) and typed up a spreadsheet with all the bad debts listed.
