Here's a quick story about 'so close but yet so far.'
I heard a story yesterday of a potential client who was looking to take some cash out of a property she owned so she could take advantage of a once in a lifetime business opportunity. She talked about her property, what she needed the cash for and the conversation finally got around to her credit. The excitement in her voice about the business opportunity dropped to almost nothing when the conversation turned to her credit score.
Her score ended up being 5 points BELOW where it needed to be in order to do the deal. 5 measly points!!! It was a heartbreaker when she was told that there was nothing that could be done to help her.
Ccould she pay a credit card bill down to less than 50% of the balance, did she have an old collection that was going to drop off, were there any late payments that were maybe 23 months old that may stop hurting her score in the next 30 days. Sadly, the answer to all of the above was no.
That's the delicate balance with credit. Manage it properly and the world is your oyster, make the wrong choices and it can hamper you from maximizing what possibilities life presents to you.
