Mine is 667. I have never used credit cards, and I don’t have any debt. My partner, whose FICO score is 780, currently has about twice their annual salary in debt.

    if your debit card is used fraudulently, that money is gone from your bank account forever

    Eh, this must be a case by case thing. One of my cards was compromised a couple months ago, my bank was good and got it blocked pretty quickly but one transaction for like $250 went through before they caught it, they refunded me the money in like 3 days.

      Yeah you’re right. “Could be gone forever” is probably more accurate. I imagine most banks would give you a bit of leeway, just like most CCs aren’t going to hold you liable for the first $50 like they technically could.

      But at the same time, that money is gone immediately from your account, so if a sizable amount gets debited it could put you in a pickle until/if they refund it.

        Totally depends on how much your bank values you as a customer. Which means it’s dependent on the bank itself and their policies. About 8 years ago, the company I worked for at the time had their debit card info stolen. About $5600 was charged, bank basically told us to pound sand.
