Wow! Thanks for the recommendation. I signed up and had my score within minutes, too. I’m really pleased with the service and the layout–I check my credit report regularly but had never paid to know my score. Now I do. Thanks!
This is great, thanks!
Thanks for the recommendation — I was just able to see a 40 point jump in my score as I start really paying down my high-interest credit card debt!
I just found this last week and I love their service. I think the idea is genius, although I hope in the future they’ll be able to pull up reports as well.
