<div><em><strong>Kevin W</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>I have a near perfect credit score.  My girlfriend has a dismal credit score.  If we were to get married and buy a house, do they combine our scores and created an &#8220;average&#8221; score to calculate our rate?  I would like to use just my score for the best rate but be able to combine our incomes to buy a better hoiuse.  Is this possible or common?</p>

<div><em><strong>musedrinkingmercury</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>I have my 3 scores ranging from 680-703.</p>
<p>I am applying for a credit card and am wondering if those scores are good enough to obtain one. </p>
<p>I have student loans, one credit card with 3/4 of the credit line used, a charge card with half of the credit line used, and another charge card without any charges or a balance.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just worried that since my credit card is near its max that I won&#8217;t get approved for another card I&#8217;m applying for.</p>
<p>Help?</p>

<p>I have about 5500-6000 dollars in debt to pay off and it is effecting my credit score BIG TIME!! I am planning a way to pay it off myself by the end of this year. How long will it be until my credit score improves? How high can it improve and will old credit history/scores show up on a report in say, February?<br />
In addition, my car was repossessed in Nov. 2005. The rest of the lease payments were payed off. Can this be taken off of my credit?</p>
