    I checked my score on Transunion via creditkarma.com and it is 666. I haven't checked the other bureaus scores in a while, but they were at 610 for Experian and 610 for Equifax a few months ago. I agree to start building credit sooner is better. What is best way to get the free rpts and check scores? So right now I only will have the Cap One once it arrives and my school loan.
    Discharged Chapt 7 on 7/7/10.
    Scores as of 7/12/11: EQ Fico 653; TU Fico 644; EX Quizzle 652
    Only card right now is Cap One $2500, no AF, approved 12/4/10.

      There is something called a "backdoor" credit pull that you can get your equifax and transunion reports for free, but it will not have the credit score attached to it.

      myfico.com will give you your equifax and trans union FICO scores. (there is a discount option available for myfico as well I believe).

      I will send you a PM with some more information. It is from another forum, so I don't wanna post the links out here.
