Hi Joel & Matt,
Super cool podcast, entertainingly educational! I feel like I need to take notes while I’m driving. Thanks for answering the caller with the great credit score inquiring about canceling a credit card he’d gotten by mistake. In your opinion, what’s the best credit score reporting platform? Between CreditKarma, Experian, TurboTax, FreeCreditReport, etc, the numbers even from the same bureau can be so different.
Thanks for what you guys do every week,
L. Simmons
Hey LT, thanks for the kind words. I’m glad the show has been helpful! I like Discover’s CreditScoreCard.com. It’s a really simple interface and you get to see your FICO score which is a good one. Credit Karma is also excellent. And they’ll give you more robust information on how to improve your score if that’s what you are looking for.
