Out of curiousity, what is everyone's credit score. I'm only at a 731

Most likely everyone here is using Vantage score, which isn't real or used by anyone. You need your actual score from the credit bureaus. If you apply for a credit card, mortgage, car loan, etc, none of them use Vantage.

My Vantage score is somewhere around 720 but my real scores when I get my credit pulled (which I have multiple times this year from all 3 bureaus) is around 810. Last year, my Vantage was saying 830 while my real score was 750~. So it is not reliable.

Remember, the actual scores you get from the credit bureaus if you’re pulling them from the credit bureaus isn’t your actual score either. The only way to get an actual score is to do a hard pull on credit.

OP: Your credit score is low. You should try to bring it up to the 800s.

That's Vantage, which isn't even your real credit score... Your real score could be 700 for all you know.

Also 731 isn't low lol

Usually around 775-800 but it’s been as high as 830 and as low as 675.
