Credit Score Management

What is the minimum acceptable credit score when applying for a job where the employer checks your credit?

I have several negative items on my credit report that will expire after the 7-year limit next year (2002 was a wild one!). I have paid some and others are still on there as collection or charge-off. I have nothing negative since 2002 but I have a lot of student loans in repayment and no active credit cards. How many points can I expect my credit score to rise once the last negative items expire?

I have a credit score of 618. Is this enough for me to apply for a home loan?

say you are in excellent staying, never was late. always payed the balance. but you have too many credit cards let’s say. so when you cancel that credit card. what happens to your credit score? Does your credit limit you had for that card get erased from the records? after all those years of building the credit limit to help the credit score. what happens to it? and what happens to your score? i’m just curious.

What happens to my credit score when I apply for a few credit cards and are not approved because they require brilliant credit? Does it affect my ability to get approval on another credit card? How long is this for?
