Wow! We are really growing fast!! It's wonderful!

As I see the new "faces," I can't help but wonder how you found us. So, I thought maybe you would be willing to respond to a poll (one of our really nice features). :mrgreen:

from CN

I'm so confused! I want to answer the poll but I don't know which I am..LOL

you're a founding member nana. . .
glad to see you posting again, and your DH is doing well.

......sigh...sometimes my brain goes to sleep before the rest of me does...hehehe

<chuckle>

Can we add from day 1 to the poll? I don't know which one to choose. :?

Oh day 1 is a founding member!!! Everyone who was here from the beginning is a founding member. LOL, it's not just the ones who put the board up, LOL. We could do beautiful work, pay top dollar for a server, buy the most expensive software, but without those folks who were here to post and participate when we got started, there wouldn't be much here, believe me!! It takes good people and we sure had them from day 1. Our founding members!! Maybe we need to give y'all a title or something, LOL. :wink:

I learned about this WONDERFUL place from my now 2nd, or 3rd favorite website www.chexvictims.com , all I know is i have very little time to visit that site since i've been here . I've also reffered about 4 co-workers and all of my family.

Thanks, credit please! Glad to know you feel good about referring your friends and family. :mrgreen:

My cousin told me about it... then the next day, her husband took her laptop overseas... so she hasn't been able to get back yet... so I am asking questions for her, too.

I love this board and I love all the nice people here. You guys are so helpful and you always take time to answer the newbie questions, which is so important.

I have been trying to clean up my credit for a year just using a book I bought at B&N and I learned more HERE the first hour than I did in a whole YEAR using that darn book! :roll:

I am so glad to be here and I just want to say THANK YOU to all of you for the wonderful advice and friendships I have made so far! :oops: I feel like I am giving an acceptance speech!!! I started trying to name names.... all those who have helped me so far.... but there were too many!!! :oops:

I hope to stick around even after I reach my goal and try to "give back" to help others who are struggling!

<applause>

I found this after following everyone from somewhere else. I found that somewhere else after googling credit repair.....

you're all one of the best things that's happened to me!

I followed from another board also, and joined on day 3!! Thanks so much for all the continued support you all provide!!

I had no idea this existed until I heard it on Clark the other day.....

I joined pretty early on but it was officially from a link I think breeze or butch posted on CN.

I found out about creditboard via Smart Money Magazine.

I am brand new member. I thought I could share some of my knowledge with members. I worked for Equifax in sales for 18 years. Now, I just play and search for Antiques. I have a self taught degree on credit bureaus and scores.

Please email me back.
Thanks
Beth

Hi Beth, welcome to the board!

Hi Beth, Welcome!
I'm certain that your experience will be very valuable!

Btw....TU likes to look for antiques too. Then they put them back on my report!
-Just kidding-

I said from Smart Money, but I am an ex-CN member and just couldn't find you guys!!! LOL

I started CREDITBOARDS.COM!!! Really..........

Ask Breeze!!

Hi, I am new here. You all are wonderful. This is so easy for me to use too. I heard about you in Cardreport.com. There are some WONDERFUL dedicated people there also. I am looking forward someday to live chat.

Keep up the great work. Glad I found you too.



Aby

Yes, but I got my name in the magazine. :8)

No fair Breeze!! Using your sassy looks to promote the site..... :wink:

I followed you guys from CN!

P.S. Hi, Breeze & Marci - thanks for checking up on me. DH & I are looking to buy a house, so most of my online time is spent on Realtor.com.

<wave> Hi Rina! We miss you. Keep us posted on the house hunting, K? I know you're having fun!!

Househunting is doing a number on our emotions - it's our first time at it, so we're happy, excited, scared all at once, and the hot seller's market in NJ isn't doing much to make us comfortable.

There's a house we bid on last Sunday, and the sellers made a counteroffer. We've since made a 2nd offer, but they didn't want to come down lower. Today we asked our agent to say we'll split the difference; if they disagree we'll agree to their higher price on the condition that they don't consider other offers. Otherwise, we walk. So we're on pins & needles until she calls us after getting in touch w/ the seller's agent.

Oh how exciting!! Got a picture of it? You can post graphics here.

Actually, we didn't even find this one on realtor.com, so there was no picture or virtual tour. The agent we were working with told me about it the day before it officially came on the market because the listing agent works in her office. I saw it on my lunch hour last Friday, took my husband to see it Saturday, we thought it over & made an offer Sunday.

Woo hoo!! Well, you can take a picture if you get it, then. Fingers crossed. :wink:

It was the voices in my head......'there's a place......a BETTER place...' they kept saying. (Ok, I followed a link while I was doing a little research over at Bayhouse).
It's great to see so many new 'old' faces here. I've been mostly a longtime lurker of all the boards, soaking up as much info as possible. All of you folks do such an amazing job of helping people like myself. Thanks to much of your help and guidance over the years (I have to brag here) EQ now considers me PRIME--I got my highest FICO ever today, a 777!!! (think I'd like to keep that one, has a nice ring to it!).
I'm gonna stick around, lurking.....still have a little EXP problem to correct. And, I'll gladly offer advice to anyone that I might be able to help. I'm no credit expert, but I do have a 4-drawer filing cabinet FULL of information that I've collected throughout my credit journey AND I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express before, I think.
Seriously folks.....a wonderful board and a BIG 'thank you' for all that you do!

I followed the sound of slamming doors... :wink:

piggybank, what a great score!! So glad you found us! Please do stick around and help others along way way you have travelled. It's very rewarding.

Oh Boy!!! what a Smiley!!! Wheeredidya Geitit from????!!!

heh belive it or not i found this forum from a roundabout way... i found it through somebody flaming someone on Hardforum. They mentioned something about those bad people on credit net (he was bagging on this being like them) and i thought hey lets check that out
Which led to other credit forums, and finally here

LOL, well welcome, I guess flaming brings about good in some cases, hehe.

I got linked up in an off topic forum at reefcentral.com

Saltwater reef tanks are my passion/hobby and the hobby it not cheap, hence creditboards.

You're kidding! They're talking about us at reefcentral.com? Amazing!!

Welcome to the board!! Saltwater beaches are my hobby. Maybe a little snorkling.

Yes you all got a good mention so I thought I would come and check out what the fuss was about Great site, it seems vB is the norm anymore. I am glad I found out though, I have already picked up on a lot of good info.

Thanks, Josh, That's good to hear. reefcentral is a beautiful site! That looks like a great hobby. Just read some of the tips about getting higher credit lines and lower rates without inquiries, maybe some free money (0% offers) and you'll be all set. You've got a good score already! Of course, we are obsessed with making them (scores) better and finding better deals, hehe.

I found you months ago through "Frugal Living" on ivillage, LOL. I stopped coming for a couple of months after my life got kinda nutty :-). But, I 'm back and soaking up all I can to try and get my credit in order. I hope you all know how very many of us lurk, lurk, and try to work on our credit. I only post when I've searched here for answers first. . . . I'm thrilled to recieve the help I get here! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Cheers, RHM

Frugal living, huh? I should probably go there, hehe. Glad you're here!

I was on another forum --- not a credit one --- and happened to ask about Credit Repair agencies and someone told me about this board! I lurked around for a few days -- reading and trying to learn about all this FOREIGN stuff!! Then I finally joined!! And I have fixed one error that was probably pretty bad -- on Equifax and I am waiting for the new report from them! I am working up to disputes!!

THANKS!!

Great start Steffie! Welcome!

I have just followed a link from another credit board. I didn't know y'all were putting this up! I should pay more attention to my surroundings.

BTW, this site looks like its gonna be (already IS) a big success.

Congratulations on a job well done.

I love the little faces! I think that if you asked those who know me personally which one best visually describes me it would be this one: :shock:

hey sirrowan.

if i remember correctly. that's the doberman's name?

Sirrowan!! Great to see you here!! Welcome!

Our board is doing great - of course it's because of all the terrific members.

yep, that was my doberman's name. I use his name to keep his memory alive. He was my favorite dog in the world. People probably think I'm a little nuts, but he was very special to me.

Good memory!
