  • I just got my credit score sent to me. It was higher than I thought it would be. But I don't know if it's any good. I'm not planning on getting any more loans, or buying a house, or getting a new job.
  • Mine is good now. I filed bankruptcy 3 years ago and it's taken a lot of doing to get my status back to good standing..It is a big deal. I went to get car insurance and it was going to cost me $200 a year more than what I was already paying just because of low credit score. Also a Lot of rental places will run your credit check before allowing you to move it
  • I do, and it IS a big deal, unless you can manage to pay for EVERYTHING YOU BUY with cash. Good luck with that, I sure wish I could.
  • I just had mine done from refinancing and it was somwhere in the 720's. I was kind of proud of it because even with the economy the way it is, it does give me a chance to take a loan (only if I can afford it on my end). I think it is a good thing to take responsibility for the things you owe for. :-)
  • Its a big deal and it matters immensely...yes, mine is good....and it takes a lot of work to maintain it.
  • I think your credit score is always going to play an important role in our socio-economic system as long as our society continues to function on a buy now pay later manner. Good question.
  • Mine is high...over 800...and I use it to my advantage as much as possible. I recently refinanced my mortgage to 4.25%; I got discounts on my car and homeowners insurance. I rarely use cash, and so far this year I've received $500 cash back on my credit card. Credit is a great thing and can save you a lot of money if you use it right...don't buy anything you wouldn't normally buy and never carry a balance.
  • It's a bigger deal now, more than it's probably ever been. Yes, I know my credit score. Used to be a closely held secret of the financial industry. Now it's a click away. Very important in getting/using credit , making major purchases, setting interest rates, etc.
  • Mine is very high. I consider it very important if I want to keep sources of funds at a very low interest rate at my disposal. You never know when an emergeny will arise and you would wish you could get the money.
  • Mine is really bad ( through a now ex). It is extremely important especially if you want to get any type of credit from a mortgage to a mobile phone contract.
  • somewhere around 700, and it doesnt matter to me at all. maybe in 4-5 years when im buying a house and what not, but im still in college so its no big thing right now
