Installment loans are NOT required to have a very high score.  When you pay off an installment loan your score does not take a "big" drop.  Mine was minor and recovered completely within 4-5 months.

You are speculating without any evidence on Dave Ramsey.  Dave said multiple times that he paid cash for the home.  You are calling him a liar with nothing to back that up?  We call that "talking out yer ass".

Only scores that matter are your FICO scores, people get surprised when they get a house and see they aren’t t using their credit score which is always higher than your FICO scores. Mortgage will use the middle lowest score between you and spouse. You can have a high score but have a thin credit profile, that’s why credit cards revolving debt is needed for a strong credit report along w one installment loan. People are always in rush to pay off their installment loans car, personal, school, mortgage but other than no longer having that installment you’ll have a big score drop due to the age, history and closed account. Dave Ramsey who all of you love bought a $13 million dollar mansion, you think he paid cash? Guarantee he got mortgage loan and uses credit cards like everyone else.

Never said installment loans are required for a high score, they are needed for a good credit mix. Some people do have a big score drop when paying off installment loans.

That's already been covered in this thread.  Different types of lenders use different scoring models, and always have.  Some range from 0-850 and some from 0-900.  Even credit karma explains this they are are using the VantageScore 3.0 method.  It is published right there on the main scoring page, with an explanation:

My credit score was 630 and I bought a home at 2.6% APR last year

It was in the high 500s as well as my wife's, and we got the 0.9% financing on a 2020 Subaru outback.

Tell me again credit scores matter?

Ok . Credit scores matter because it helps determine what rate you get if you borrow money for a house or car.

Experian.  Can I access my FICO score on the other two agencies?  

Also, if I call my CC company will they tell me when they report to the three reporting agencies?  If so I'm thinking I can manually pay off the card prior to this happening.

Apparently only my wife ,my kids - all of who I have to co-sign for - and the bank only care about my credit rating......I haven’t cared for 40-years since I learned to not buy shit I can’t pay cash for. Never had a problem when I ... I mean THEY , needed a loan.....

I hate it. Not so much the kids as the wife.....since I have to listen to her bitch / whine about HER poor credit score and her always asking me to add her to my credit cards and help her fix her credit or - the latest- co-sign on a new 4-runner.  Only the last time I did something like that I had to pay off $17k in her debt on a HELOC when we sold our last house. So fuck that.. Just one of the reasons I’m strongly considering making her my ex-wife.


That being said.... I do have a couple of credit cards I use regular for convenience.which get payed off monthly.  And a mortgage.
