First question I got is Need help with Discover Card on PayPal? Thanks in advance for any answer. My other question... I'm trying to make my FICO a little better. I'm trying to get a mortgage from National City. My FICO is 728 and 734 and I cannot get the best rate. I don't know if I need 740 or 750 for the best rate.

My problem is that in 2007 I used a check sent to me by my BOA AM EX Acct.

I usually would pay cash for something like this so I forgot about it and never looked at the BOA emails and ended up 60 days late. I have three Credit Cards with 6k to 10k available I have no credit balences, car, mortgage (currently renting), or cards. I'm really kind of embarrassed about this. My wife's FICO is over 800. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can get afew FICO points back...

Good question... I dunno what is the answer to that question. I'll do some Googling and get back to you if I bump into an good answer. You should email the people at Discover Card as they probably could give you an answer..

I sent a request to BoA asking to change my credit status to the Contact us address on their web page and a hard copy to their mailing address. I haven't gotten a reply but now every day I'm getting 1 or 2 or 3 emails from credit report service companies, not the big three, saying that my credit score may have changed. Do you think BoA has done anything? Do I just go through the free credit report from the services? Does that give me my number?..

What are the limits and balances on your CC's?.

You might just be able to pay down the cards and get to where you need to be...

Get your utilization in between 1 and 10% - FICO likes this range better than 0%. I can't tell from the OP whether he is carrying balances right now or not... Might also try for some *B* if you have recent inquiries (12 months).
