Mine is always a little higher than his and I like to gloat! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340700 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 21:42:37 +0000 reverie 2340700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My discover card lists my FICO score so it's available whenever I feel like checking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340675 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 20:57:36 +0000 Bao 2340675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I check every few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340642 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 20:00:08 +0000 matador84 2340642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I know both of ours and I check it monthly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340627 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 19:43:49 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2340627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup we are both on credit karma. It's good to keep track of your score and credit activity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340622 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 19:38:42 +0000 FaithFertility 2340622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I know ours!

I have excellent credit, though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340594 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 19:06:52 +0000 winniebee 2340594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep just applied for a mortgage so we know the fact numbers. I don't check with any specific frequency. Just when we get a car or refinance or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340590 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 18:58:19 +0000 youboots 2340590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We just got prequalified today for a vacation home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340528 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 17:04:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2340528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: My experience has been the same as @sunny: - having had it pulled in the past for loans and knowing what it was then, and comparing it to credit karma - it was close enough for me! It's a good ballpark range for me. I don't need to know the EXACT number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340513 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 16:39:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2340513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH checks it regularly. We have a credit monitoring service too because his organization was breached. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340470 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:44:20 +0000 MrsRoo 2340470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, in the process of buying a house so we each know both of our scores. We use credit karma but like @sarac: we found it to be somewhat off of our actual scores pulled by the mortgage guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340469 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:42:41 +0000 sunny 2340469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: Sometimes the 3 bureaus can differ by 10-50 points which might explain the discrepancy. There might also be additional info that the bureau your CU used than what Credit Karma had access to. When I've checked Credit Karma against an official score in the past, they were pretty close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340465 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:36:36 +0000 autumnlove 2340465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we bought a car in June. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340463 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:35:55 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2340463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. We are looking into possibly buying a house (/condo/etc) soon so we have been trying to get our scores up a little. </p> <p>@sarac: good to know but scary!! I hope mine is accurate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340462 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:32:52 +0000 sarac 2340462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I found this to be really untrue when I just bought a car. Credit karma reported mine in the low to mid 700s, and then the number pulled at my Credit Union was upper 600s. Big difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340460 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:31:52 +0000 NorthStar 2340460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have an account on mint, you get your credit score for free every three months. It's pretty awesome and they have a little analysis too. My name is linked to our mint account, but we created a dummy one as well in order to get my husband's score. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340440 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:14:04 +0000 rattles 2340440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. We check them annually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340438 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:13:15 +0000 Torchwood 2340438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does. He handles all the financial things in our family, because he's obsessive about it. He balances the checkbook every day. I just know they're very, very good (thanks to him!) and that he keeps an eye on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340421 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:05:17 +0000 sunny 2340421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I check a few times a year on Credit Karma. I know the ballpark range of mine and my DHs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340420 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:05:08 +0000 sapphire 2340420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but we bought a house and a car recently so it's been checked a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340416 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 14:59:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2340416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use credit karma and it's really accurate!

His is excellent. So was mine back on March when I last saw it :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340406 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 14:53:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2340406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I know mine, I actually don't know DH but I prob have the better credit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340404 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 14:52:29 +0000 Tanjowen 2340404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just had it checked since we are buying a house, and we are almost the same in our credit scores. We check every other year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340403 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 14:52:00 +0000 lawbee11 2340403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just bought a car a couple of months ago so I know both of ours because the info was sent to us when we applied for a loan. We also both have credit monitoring and are emailed anytime there's an inquiry or other activity on our credit report. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340397 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 14:48:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 2340397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I checked last year, mine has stayed the same since we bought our house 5 years ago, DH has gone up as he's paid a couple things off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-credit-score-1#post-2340396 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 14:47:51 +0000 looch 2340396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has subscribed to a service on behalf of one of those recent security breaches, he likes to tell me that his score has increased and is finally higher than mine. He knows his number, he knows mine, lol. </p>
