Updates: The utility collection has been removed from Equifax and Experian; TransUnion is dragging their feet...maybe next week.CapitalOne is reporting my updated balance, but not my new limit, so my utilization is artificially skewed...again, maybe next week.My CreditKarma scores took a dump this week - not sure why as the only changes were improvements (i.e. removed collection).  My MyFICO scores improved though (further evidence that CK is essentially worthless).  New scores are: EQ 04: 627 (+11)TU 04: 595 (+/- 0)EX 98: 604 (+9) I anticipate greater increases once CapitalOne reports my increased limit.  That should push my utilization to under the 30% sweet-spot.  Still waiting on a response from the bank regarding the erroneous 30-day-late they reported in July 2013.  I faxed them copies of my payment confirmations from that month, as well as the month prior.  Not sure a removal will provide a significant boost at this point though; it's almost 2 years old.  My Bank of America charge-off is still there as well, and reporting the full balance.  I don't anticipate a score change once it's updated, but the $0 balance will certainly help to smooth that rough edge. EDIT:  Backstory on the 30-day-late, as I realize I hadn't shared that previously.  My now closed earlier auto loan reflects "No Missed Payments" on TransUnion, however it shows a single 30-day-late payment in July of 2013 on both Equifax and Experian - two weeks before I paid the account off in-full in August 2013.  I have my payment confirmations from June and July of 2013.  June's payment was 2 days late due to website maintenance (I have their email stating the dates of maintanance, and faxed that to them as well).  I could not have paid it earlier as my payday and due date coincided that month, so instead I made my payment on the next available date.  Still, I was never 31+ days late on that account, no matter how you do the math.

  • How do I qualify for a Student Discount?

    Hello,
    I'm currently studying Interactive Media at my college in the UK, and was wondering how would I qualify for a student discount?
    Because I went to this link http://store.apple.com/uk/mac/education and the college that I go to isn't there, and I could really do with a more powerful laptop.
    Hope to here from you soon,
    Jordan_Clow

    We are not Apple, just end-usrs like you so cannot speak with authrity about Apple policies.  However this Apple site covers educational purchases. Links therein will show terms and conditions:
    http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/findyourschool
    That is from the US store. If that does not answer the question for a UK user, open the UK Apple Store and enter "educational" in the search window. One hit should be "Educational discounts."

  • Does an ipod with a non functional power button still qualify for discount on a new ipod?

    I  have an old iPod Touch 2nd gen and my power button doesn't work. i was wondering if it would still qualify for the discount on a new ipod touch at an apple store.

    What discount is this?  Never heard of Apple accepting trade ins for discount on a new item.
    If you mean the Apple recycling plan, it is actually not run by Apple, but by a 3rd party recycling company.  They would be the ones to make the decision on how much you would get for your device.  Non-functional devices are not worth a whole lot though, so you should not expect much from them.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • I do not qualify for the Verizon edge plan, even though I have been customer ever since they bought Alltel. Has anyone else had this problem.

    Today I went to the Verizon store to upgrade my girlfriends phone which is on my account b/c I wanted to use the edge plan to buy the iPhone 5c. I had read in several different places that I could upgrade using edge and not loose my unlimited data, turns out I was misinformed, which the guy at the store told me after he had my information pulled up using my cell number. I told the guy I was not willing to give up my unlimited plan AND pay full price for the phone, I thanked him for his time and we left. When we left the store I called the Verizon number that is given on the website and told them I was interested in the edge plan for the 5c and asked for more information, ( I thought the guy at the store was wrong and I was checking). The woman I talked.......long story short, I talked to 8 people including 2 managers and none of them could tell me why I did not qualify for the edge financing (even if switching the plan), SO I was hoping someone on here might could help. I have been a customer since Verizon bought out Alltel, I have automatic payments set up with no late payments for as long as I can remember, and was eligible for an upgrade on 01/03/2013. Any experience or advice in this area would be appreciated.
    Thank You!

    Here is my advice, at least. Not sure if anyone will agree, but it is my take on the problem.
    With the Edge program, there is a "possibility" that someone will pay full price for a phone. This is not always the case, though. IF you do not complete ALL of the 24 months of payments, then you WILL NOT have paid full price for the phone, but simply a portion of the full price. THAT is why it does not make the plan "eligible" to keep your unlimited data. With the Edge plan, technically you only have to pay 50% of the full price before you can trade it in for another phone on the Edge plan. The way the plan is designed, the majority of people WILL NOT ever pay full price for the phone, but only a portion of the full price before they exchange their phone for a new device. That is what Verizon is hoping for, at least.
    As Ann154 has pointed out, you can use the Device Payment Plan and keep your unlimited data. At no time during your contract can you trade THAT phone in to get another phone. You would have to continue making the payments on THAT phone along with any other phone you upgraded to. THAT is the difference between the 2 plans. You WILL end up paying full price for the phone on the Device Payment Plan, where you can STOP making payments on a phone with the Edge Plan if you turn it in for another device.
    Good luck.

  • What needs to be wrong to qualify for a replacement?

    My iPad has been messing up lately and just last night my "friend" cracked the screen.
    My question is what all needs to be wrong with it to qualify for a free warranty replacement?
    the internet occasionally turns itself off, the sound will cut out, it will refuse to interface with iHome (possibly iHome's fault though),
    I bought it in June, and have not done anything with it involving the warranty yet.
    Do you think this would qualify to be replaced?

    Yes, with the physical damage, and the absence of accidental damage protection, it would be an out of warranty repair.

    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad

    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPad is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. Replacement iPads have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer.

    Hello Mohan,
    Which installer have you used, may be this one here
    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 RTM ? As you can see in the "Details" it applys only for the Commercial Editions, you can not use it for the free Express.
    For Express Edition you have to use this one:

    Hi Bev,
    Thanks for the the email - I understand now.
    I would just like to ask another question with regards to my new order for complete Creative Cloud which you suggested. I have now pre-paid for a full year but I’m not
    sure when I can start downloading the other APPS as they don’t seem to be updating on my current Creative Cloud account app display. It still shows my old configuration
    of products (i.e. Photoshop etc) and my ‘activity stream’ relates back to 9 days ago.
    Please let me know how to get my new order activated.
    Thanks

  • 667 qualify for FHA loan?

    Hi, any and all input is greatly appreciated.
    My girlfriend and I have been wanting to purchase a home for quite some time now. My mortgage score is 667 & hers is 647. She actually has better credit than I do. I have six big collections, she has none..all her credit card payments, car payments & loan payments are on time. Out combined income is about $72k but I'm really scared to try and apply for a loan to just get rejected and ruin her dreams of owning a home. Can anyone give me some insight on what qualifications one needs in CA to qualify for a home loan? Thanks!

Thanks!Yes, most lenders will approve you with an FHA loan or USDA loan with a min mortgage mid score of 640, many will even use a mid score of 620.  Go to the mortgage section here on MyFICO and answer the questions in the Do I Qualify thread for helpful qualification info. Mortgages are based on your income and your debt as well as your assets and credit.
