Are you kidding me...Dating a FICO Score?

Incredible... and what will they think of next to get our private information?Creditscoredating.com just got some national press as a way to convince us that a credit score makes or breaks a relationship. Yes, while financial diffficulties is one of the hardest challenges in any relationship I'm not sure I would be advertising my credit score in this market on a public site.

I'll be looking into the site a little more and report later but seriously be very careful when giving your private financial and credit information to any public site. Most sites are run by some sort of revenue and whether they admit it or not your information will be shared with someone leaving you ripe for offers both personal and financial.

A credit score can be a personal thing because they are not always correct. There are a meriad of mistakes that I have seen on the credit reports of perfectly responsible people. As one aticle puts it, even an unemployed lawyer with lots of debt is finding the credit scores dropping faster than the New year's Eve ball in NY.
