How to get my credit score to 800
How I did it: Not really sure how I did it since the ways of the scoring elude me, but somehow I managed to get that sucker to 810.
I paid all my bills on time and in full every month.
I have two credit cards - one of which I owe nothing on but keep open for emergencies. The other one is my regular use card that has the lower rate, and I pay more than the minimum due every month.
Lessons & tips: Lessons - none.
Tips - make sure you understand what your credit is and how people look at it. It may not be wise to judge a book by its cover, but companies sure do judge you by your credit score. There are several tips online as well - all websites say pretty much the same thing. And keep your eye open for the changes that are coming next year.
