I said, "Credit ratings have nothing to do with income. You can have a FICO score over 800 living on Social Security checks, or a FICO of 500 if you have hundreds of thousands in income and don't pay your bills or start maxing stuff out."

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. [01:22] IsambardPrince Each model is a bit different, but they all basically function based on these parameters. [01:24] 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. [01:24] 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. [01:25] 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. [01:26] 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. [01:27] IsambardPrince You're only guaranteed to get an income check if your FICO scores are lower than about 680. [01:27] IsambardPrince Everything between 680-750 is sort of like some will demand verification, others won't. [01:29] 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. [01:29] IsambardPrince So Mandy would get the best terms. [01:29] 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. [01:29] IsambardPrince Mom will get high interest loans, only because of income, and they will check. [01:30] schestowitz[TR3] robert FICO [01:30] schestowitz[TR3] FICO, Robert [01:30] 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. [01:31] 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. [01:32] IsambardPrince Meanwhile, they said they wouldn't give me a car loan at all, when there was nothing wrong with my credit. [01:32] 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.

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." [01:34] IsambardPrince It ended up going away in her bankruptcy. [01:34] TR News Techrights Slopwatch: LinuxSecurity, Planet Ubuntu, and LinuxTechLab https://techrights.org/n/2025/07/23/Slopwatch_LinuxSecurity_Planet_Ubuntu_and_LinuxTechLab.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/07/23/Slopwatch_LinuxSecurity_Planet_Ubuntu_and_LinuxTechLab.gmi [01:34] TR Bot Techrights Slopwatch: LinuxSecurity, Planet Ubuntu, and LinuxTechLab [01:34] IsambardPrince So they ended up losing a lot of money on her.

The teller shouted "OKAY, BUT IF YOU BOUNCE THIS YOUR MOTHER IS IN TROUBLE." I haven't ever bounced a check. [01:35] IsambardPrince There was something wrong with those credit union people. They're insane. [01:36] MinceR schestowitz[TR3]: for the most part, it's this >> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GsN9onma8AA0MMm.jpg?name=orig [01:37] 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. [01:37] IsambardPrince How are they even in business? [01:38] 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. [01:39] IsambardPrince I will cut back somewhere else and pay my bills. [01:39] 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. [01:41] 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. [01:41] IsambardPrince And 10 years after you file, it will be like it never even happened and your FICO will climb back to the 800s. [01:42] 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. [01:43] IsambardPrince Another, is they might go right back to not paying bills, and get fresh negativs. [01:43] IsambardPrince Or they could do both. [01:44] 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. [01:45] 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. [01:46] IsambardPrince Before the Fair Credit Reporting Act back in the 1970s, the credit bureaus existed, but scores were uncommon. [01:46] IsambardPrince Instead, they were not limited to what they could put in your credit file or how long it could be there. [01:46] 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. [01:47] IsambardPrince "The guy we called at the supermarket says this man doesn't tip the bag boy who carries his groceries to the car." [01:48] IsambardPrince Tipping the bag boy used to be a thing. Now most supermarkets don't even allow it. They pay the non-tipped wage. [01:51] IsambardPrince I like to go to sit down restaurants more often when there's a big rebate from the restaurant on the card. [01:51] IsambardPrince I usually pass it along to the waiter and leave them a big tip. [01:52] IsambardPrince It helps me leave a bigger tip for the wait staff and still not have the bill be horrid. [01:53] 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. [01:53] IsambardPrince Some hours go by and you can make $100 that hour. [01:53] IsambardPrince Then the whole restaurant goes dead for a few hours and you make like $9 an hour. [01:55] 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. ● Jul 23 [02:03] schestowitz[TR3] IsambardPrince: draft?
