FICO score distribution

13% of the population have a FICO score of 800 or more, and 40% have 750 or more.

Mr. Chiang, who gave you the figure that 750 is in the 95th percentile?

It's true that maybe not everyone is that organized, but that's why the credit card companies send you reminders (for free) every month, in the form of the bill.

Paying for reminders

How is paying someone 10 bucks a month to email me reminders about my upcoming bills that much different than signing up for e-statements from my credit card companies, my victoria's secret charge card, verizon, netflix, etc?

But then again I'm someone who writes down the amount of the bill and the due date in my planner....
