I purchased a Toyota Sequoia for my Ex back in 08 when we split in 2010 she thought she would fuck with me and stop paying the note on the SUV and fuck up my credit. When she was at work one day (nurse) I went to the parking lot and took MY vehicle back since I was paying the note and it was in my name. She comes out of work and it's gone,reported it stolen, and then called me to tell me it was stolen LOL That conversation got a bit heated to say the least........LOL

My wife and I just got ours from Wells Fargo (traded 2 cars, bought one, took small loan until I sell my Panoz). We both had identical score (maybe cause married?) of 868.

Edit: just looked up how they determine it cause made me curious. Decent article here.

Interesting story . I do not check mine or care what it is but, a friend and I went to Vegas years ago. This was when MBNA was supporting the race there. So everytime we walked out of the hotel half naked girls signed us up for a credit card. We put down we didn't own a house ,little income ,no job ect because we did not want to receive any credit cards.I ended up with 21 Tee shirts for the weekend.
About 6 months later I was relaying this story to a friend who sells real estate. He laughed that all those applications would have played hell on my score . I Don't use credit ,don't care. We pulled up my credit report. Holy crap here were 21 applications for credit cards all turned down. My credit score was 630, no idea what it was before. I still have some of the tee shirts.

I went 15 years without borrowing a dime and over 20 with no credit cards. I had everything paid off. My insurance just kept getting higher and higher. A lot is based off of your credit score. So I got a couple bull shit cards, then financed a new truck. That got me up around 700, now in 740 ish manly because my history is only 5 years.

The highest credit score you can achieve (under perfect circumstances) is 850 using the FICO model. However, any score over 740 is generally considered to be great and puts you in range for the best interest rates on things like credit cards, mortgages and car loans.

If your homeowners insurance and auto insurance company don't use your credit scores in determining your premiums, then good for you.

But, if yours is like most, you pay more for car and homeowners insurance the lower your score is.

But, if you don't care about paying higher rates for insurance, then credit scores don't matter.
