[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1358537, member: 20599"] You can now go to the Discover.com website and get your credit (FICO) score for free. Don't have to have or apply for a Discover credit card. We just rented out a house we own, and I had prospective tenants pull their FICO score at the Discover website and send it to me, before I even had them fill out a full rental app or do a credit and background check. Saved us all some hassles (and money for the full landlord credit/background check), as several eliminated themselves from contention right off the bat, based on their abysmal FICO scores. I don't know how he did it, but my son (college sr) has a credit card with a 30k limit and a stellar credit score. It worries me but we have always advised him to avoid debt, and (knock wood) he seems to have taken it to heart. He has worked most of the time since he was about 15-16; pays it off every month and we ask to see his statement now and again. Last time we checked, he has never paid any interest or late fees. We have told him to be very careful, that they are giving him enough rope to hang himself. As a cautionary tale, I told him Wed. about the young couple who were dying to rent our house last month. Lovely folks, but after I looked at their finances, had to take a pass. 300k in debt, mostly credit cards. Had a toddler and a newborn too. Had to gently tell them they couldn't afford it. They had decent jobs too. [/QUOTE]
