Welcome to the very first episode of Garage Talk with Bill Haase—where real conversations about money, mindset, and financial literacy happen without the fluff.
In Episode 1, Bill Haase is joined by credit experts John Mackey and JS Whaldo for a powerful, eye-opening discussion about the truth behind credit scores and how they really impact your financial life.
From the basics of credit score ranges (500–800) to the myths around checking your score daily, the trio breaks down what most people don’t understand about credit models, underwriting, and lending decisions. You’ll learn why your mortgage score may be different from your car loan score, how revolving debt affects your profile, and why the specific FICO model being used truly matters.
They also tackle one of today’s biggest financial concerns—medical debt. Discover how new scoring models like FICO 10T are changing the game and what that means for mortgage approvals. Plus, get insight into lender guidelines, manual overrides, and how underwriting really works behind the scenes.
