I check my credit score and usually you do have to pay for an actual number score. I think the free reports only give you information like "positive" or "negative" accounts. I know I paid $4.95 for my Vantage Score, but at least I was happy to see my score go up 72 points. Every Feb. I check my credit score and usually you do have to pay for an actual number score.

Now I'm not sure. I know when I checked with Equifax, it showed me all my records, but I totally don't remember a score.. Anyone else know? Hmmn… good point, J. Now I’m not sure.

According to the report, once I've had my accounts longer it should go up. It's actually a big relief to know one's credit score and look at the credit report - it's nice to make sure there's no mistakes. Most people I know simply say "What's a credit report?" Yikes!
