Because financially intelligent people who live within their means don’t need to call her. Did you see the show with the family where the dad made $100k per year and the mom spent so much on birthday parties and clothes that they could not afford health insurance for the six kids? Susie told them to move to Seattle and for the mom to get a job at Starbucks. Within a short time of that program’s airing, Starbucks announced multiple store closings and layoffs. I wonder how they’re doing now.

I’m convinced that all her callers have some kind of Freudian masochistic mother thing going on. Otherwise, why would anyone call and say stuff like, “Well, I’m almost on time with my mortgage payments… I think I can buy a boat, though.” And then they sit there while she tears them a rhetorical new one. Seriously, she never says “yes” to anyone, so why would anyone call?

Excellent point Michelle! Thanks for reminding me of the Experian change.

I am a myFico subscriber, and on 2/4/2009 they sent me an email saying:

“We were recently notified that effective February 14, 2009, Experian will no longer allow myFICO® to provide Experian FICO® scores to consumers, even though these scores will continue to be used by lenders.”

So please be informed that you actually WILL be able to pull all 3 and compare data, BUT you won’t be able to compare all 3 credit scores.

I actually don’t mind Suze. Besides her outrageous outfits, I don’t see myself disagreeing with her suggestions or advice.
