Can I do a little boosting?

My FICO score is 824. For some strange reason I felt a lot of pride when I got the report. I feel like an elite.

Can anyone beat me in their FICO score?

I checked mine a few weeks ago, and it was 810, which is probably the highest it's ever been.

Yes, so how'd you get your so high?

Do you mean boasting?

Two weeks ago when we purchased a car....mine 831; my husband's, 834.

Never late on payments, credit cards paid off every month, live way below our means.

Mine is Zero. I had my credit frozen 10 years ago and never looked back...

The details matter here. Having a score of 824 and no debt isn't anything to boast about. Having a score of 824 and $900,000 in debt.... that's pretty good. A credit report is useless if you aren't taking advantage of it.

I had 819 in August. But then I bought a hotel. That dropped my score a bit.

Actually there is nothing wrong with boasting about that. It means he keeps his promise of paying those he owes back and doesn't abuse credit. Too bad a lot more people aren't like that.
