    My credit score just went up. Must be good times ahead ;)
    I work within the voluntary sector, supporting vulnerable people to rebuild their lives.

    I love my job

    Update: My score went down but when I looked deeper into my Equifax credit report - the type of lender I am has improved. So, I've come to the conclusion that the contents of my credit report is more important than the number that represents it.

    It's certainly a possibility...

    Either that or there’s 2 pages of people repeatedly telling you that exact same thing? :money:
