Basic question about new FICO vs. old FICO
Anyone that know the answer, I would certainly appreciate it. When we first heard about the new FICO models, I remember some contributors and moderators mention some of the differences. I am going off of memory here. I seem to remember differences in piggybacking not being allowed and that old baddies that are close to falling off that are paid not hurting your score as much on the new model. Somebody please tell me if I am remembering correctly.

can you pay rent with a CC?
the answer is probably pretty simple, but maybe not. my landlord only accepts checks as rent, which is probably pretty common. is there any way to get checks through credit cards somehow? i mean i know i might get cited for dumb question of the week, it just really irks me that i pay 2k in rent and get 2% cash back and could be getting $40 off my rent every month!!

Tax legality
Sorry for posting in the wrong forum but it wouldnt let me post in the tax forum. If you have already gotten your taxes done can your mom have them done again, through a different person then you, and claim you, even though you have already claimed yourself?
