But, prior to being accepted, I purchased a car about three months before being laid off. Now, my bank has reported me three times to the credit bureaus, which has dropped my score by a staggering 80 points! So, I cannot even get a private student loan when my previous score would have allowed me to get one easily. And, I am paying more than 1300.00 in rent each month in the Northern Virginia area, and need to start looking for a cheaper apartment in November. Tell me, how can I get my credit score up high enough to avoid having a cosigner for a new apartment, let alone a student loan? I have recently been accepted to graduate school.
