Where can I get my credit score?

It wasn't a loan. I was a freshman with 5k of housing to pay for, for the year. I got them to suspend it to wait for my signing bonus to pay it off. I'm saving my student loans for grad school since I already have 100% tuition covered via scholarship. And my bonus was 20k, but you get half...yadda yadda...you know the deal. Then i contracted as a cadet so I forfeited the next half of my bonus.

Air force or Army, and what is this signing bonus you speak of??? Pre commissioning loan?? The pre-com loan is a good way to build credit (eventually) if usaa will approve you for it.

my truck is a piece, it doesn't even KBB or Edmunds for 2k.

So If I recall 1K is under 2K , which "should" give you enough for a 1k secured loan..??

Just got my credit scores

Trans - 606

Exper - 606

Equi - 589

Does that sound about right? It says I've had my credit card 5 months, and all the payments are good.

careful how many times your credit score is accessed either by you or others.. That hurts your score as well!

Since Im in the middle of a re-fi on my home (should it appraise Ill save some cash every month!!) I know my Trans score right now, it is 856 w00t! Yay for EXCELLENT Credit, I can still get cash out of the banks!!

something for reading about your scores:

I thought that if i'm paying to access it via a credited website that it doesn't hurt the score? I'm also a little high on my one card right now. Limit of $300 and I'm sitting at $250. I'll pay that down to $50 and ask for an extension on my credit so I've got a little more wiggle room. Would asking for an extension hurt me? Is it to early when I've only had the card for 6 months?
