Wed 00:22:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She has no idea how FICO scores work. They publish how they work. There's nothing directly related to income about having a high FICO score. It's average age of accounts, credit file age, presence of negatives, number of hard inquiries, debt to limit ratios, and payment history. None of those are income. It's about establishing a long record of being reliable about paying what you owe people.
Wed 00:22:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Each model is a bit different, but they all basically function based on these parameters.
Wed 00:24:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you get a $1500 a month Social Security check, have no collection accounts or bankruptcies, your credit file is at least 10 years old, and you have a credit card you've never been late on and you pay it in full every month, then you will have a FICO score of over 800.
Wed 00:24:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you are an Insta-THOT (That Ho Over There) like "Bhad Bhabie" and make millions, but AmEx has to sue you, you will have bad FICO scores.
Wed 00:25:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The only connection between FICO and income is an indirect one. Having a high income means you are more likely to be able to pay all your bills, but as long as you DO pay all your bills, income is not relevant to a FICO score.
Wed 00:26:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And if you get a FICO score over 750 or so, most car loans will be 2-3% APR at the most, and they will not check to see if you have income.
Wed 00:27:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You're only guaranteed to get an income check if your FICO scores are lower than about 680.
Wed 00:27:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Everything between 680-750 is sort of like some will demand verification, others won't.
Wed 00:29:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Right now, I am there. Some will, sone won't. But there was that thing with John. Statistically speaking, FICO Model 8 says that 1 in 3 borrowers with my mother's credit score will have the loan go bad. With my score, it's like 1 in 20. With Mandy's, it's 1 in 100.
Wed 00:29:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So Mandy would get the best terms.
Wed 00:29:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I would get a loan, but it would not be the best one, and some banks wouldn't verify my income for a car loan.
Wed 00:29:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mom will get high interest loans, only because of income, and they will check.
Wed 00:30:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] robert FICO
Wed 00:30:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] FICO, Robert
Wed 00:30:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's a predictive risk algorithm that shows banks, based on data, how many people like you are going to screw the bank over and then they need to repossess the car and sue, and so if a lot of customers in that group will, they don't want to mess with it unless there's a ton of interest.
Wed 00:31:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mom's credit union gave her a car loan. They ended up taking it right back. They were pissed and said she was no longer a member of the credit union, period.
Wed 00:32:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Meanwhile, they said they wouldn't give me a car loan at all, when there was nothing wrong with my credit.
Wed 00:32:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They ended up not only getting that white Impala back from her, a rock hit the windshield and she never got it fixed and it would whistle at you while you were going down the freeway.

Wed 00:33:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She said "They sent me a letter saying how much they sold it for and it was a low amount." I said, "Yes, the law requires them to dispose of it quickly, at an auction, to a dealer, for wholesale. They will not get the best price. They will also subtract the cost of repossession from the proceeds. Almost the entire value of the car will disappear and you will still owe them the same amount, you will just have no car."
Wed 00:34:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It ended up going away in her bankruptcy.

Wed 00:35:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I came in there to cash a $20 check I wrote to myself, and they acted like I was there to rob the credit union. The teller shouted "OKAY, BUT IF YOU BOUNCE THIS YOUR MOTHER IS IN TROUBLE." I haven't ever bounced a check.
Wed 00:35:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There was something wrong with those credit union people. They're insane.
Wed 00:36:00 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ schestowitz[TR3]: for the most part, it's this >> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GsN9onma8AA0MMm.jpg?name=orig
Wed 00:37:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Credit unions are just so much worse than banks. They operate like we don't even have objective standards for gauging risk, so my mom walks in there and charms them and gets a low interest car loan and files bankruptcy and they get a damaged car back, but I go in there in an old t-shirt and some jeans with an 800 FICO and they act like I'm going to bounce a $20 check.
Wed 00:37:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ How are they even in business?
Wed 00:38:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Part of the reason I normally have good credit except for that nuclear meltdown courtesy of John is I don't make a habit out of not paying people.
Wed 00:39:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I will cut back somewhere else and pay my bills.
Wed 00:39:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So next year, all those old accounts will fall off my credit reports at the same time and it'll be pretty clean again.
Wed 00:41:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Chapter 7 bankruptcy is initially very harmful to your credit score, but the damage fades. 7 years after the date of first delinquency the accounts that went bad that you put into the bankruptcy disappear. So assuming there's no new negatives, and you've started over with plenty of good accounts that are aging, then about 6.5 years after you file, you can certainly have a FICO score over 750 again.
Wed 00:41:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And 10 years after you file, it will be like it never even happened and your FICO will climb back to the 800s.
Wed 00:42:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ One of the reasons why a lot of people never get those 750-800+ scores back is they don't touch credit again, so there's a long gap with nothing to score.
Wed 00:43:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Another, is they might go right back to not paying bills, and get fresh negativs.
Wed 00:43:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or they could do both.
Wed 00:44:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you see a person in their 40s or 50s with a blank credit report, it makes you wonder if they did file bankruptcy and just never touched credit again.
Wed 00:45:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So it can make it very hard to do anything because they'll see a blank file and an older person and wonder how that happened. Nobody lives in this country without the credit bureaus knowing something about them unless they're like my brother. A hermit living in the upstairs of mom's house.
Wed 00:46:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Before the Fair Credit Reporting Act back in the 1970s, the credit bureaus existed, but scores were uncommon.
Wed 00:46:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Instead, they were not limited to what they could put in your credit file or how long it could be there.
Wed 00:46:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They could talk to your neighbor when determining if you got a car loan, and "The neighbor says this woman cheats on her husband." ends up on your credit report.
Wed 00:47:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "The guy we called at the supermarket says this man doesn't tip the bag boy who carries his groceries to the car."
Wed 00:48:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Tipping the bag boy used to be a thing. Now most supermarkets don't even allow it. They pay the non-tipped wage.
Wed 00:51:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I like to go to sit down restaurants more often when there's a big rebate from the restaurant on the card.
Wed 00:51:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I usually pass it along to the waiter and leave them a big tip.
Wed 00:52:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It helps me leave a bigger tip for the wait staff and still not have the bill be horrid.
Wed 00:53:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That waitress today got paid pretty well that hour just from us, and I'm assuming the older people next to us left something. That's how tipped professions are though.
Wed 00:53:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Some hours go by and you can make $100 that hour.
Wed 00:53:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then the whole restaurant goes dead for a few hours and you make like $9 an hour.
Wed 00:55:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It can be hard to budget when you rely on tips. If you don't make at least $15 an hour when they average it out for the week, then the restaurant has to cough it up, but still that only gets you to minimum wage.

Wed 01:17:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or it could mean something as trivial as a unified kernel between Android and ChromeOS.
Wed 01:17:41 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] a) chromebooks are controlled by google
Wed 01:17:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] even if you feel otherwise
Wed 01:17:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They are.
Wed 01:17:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] b) we need to move people to PCs they control
Wed 01:17:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] that means no "Secure" boot
Wed 01:18:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] as microsoft controls that
Wed 01:18:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You can use MrChromeBox on the one I have.
Wed 01:18:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] even if _in theory_ one could self-sign
Wed 01:18:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] c) google does not value users' freedom
Wed 01:18:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But I'm leaving that on the back burner for someday when it's either unsupported or Google does something outrageous.
Wed 01:18:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so really, your embrace of chromeOS is like having a wedding with Sanches
Wed 01:18:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] she is already divorced twice
Wed 01:18:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Using MrChromeBox on this one, you could run any Linux distribution, or even Windows if you really wanted to.
Wed 01:19:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] how long for?
Wed 01:19:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and

Wed 01:19:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ As long as you want I suppose.
Wed 01:19:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] what happens when chromebooks are sold no more
Wed 01:19:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It has a "UEFI" payload.
Wed 01:19:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's not the native firmware.
Wed 01:19:36 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and new ones run android and are boot-locked?

About 20 of those will be wrong.
