Has Chase become a multi-puller?
centex posted a topic in Credit Forum,
I elected to pull the trigger on the new United card the other day. As expected, there was a pull on EXP. No instant approval. I see a pull from the following day on a different bureau (TU).
I am curious whether this is becoming their new normal. Recording still has the 'under review' message.
Scores at the time of the respective pulls are somewhere between 820-838 depending on just which flavor of Fair Isaac modeling was utilized...and as near as I can tell, I SHOULD be under 5/24 since the one that would have put me at 5/24 had been opened in the early part of June 2018 (thus being OUTSIDE of the two calendar year window).
Last time I opened a non-auto product with them was in the days of the Continental PresPlus card which I ditched after the merger with United. I actually only expect to keep THIS one for the year since the fee is waived in year one and I want options for the airports that don't have a Centurion Lounge.

Paying off CC Debt
zpcsc posted a topic in Credit Forum,
Hello, I've been playing with my cc debt for a while now. I've opened new 0% accounts as suggested on these threads. When the 0% is over I transfer it to another one with 0%, accounts that I already have open. Now with the situation that we are all in, it's going to be a little tougher to pay more than close to the minimums. We owe a total of $25k, I've also worked with my DH's available credit for the 0% cards.
I am so tired of this debt! Our credit is good over 700's. I've thought about a personal loan since we receive lots of promotions on these, are these loans personally guaranteed?
Years ago they weren't but so much has changed.
Thank you for all the suggestions.

Can you all please give me guidance on my plan of attack 😢
Theirmomma posted a topic in Credit Forum,
First thank you for all the knowledge posted here, I have followed CB off and on for over 10 years.
So here is me current credit Pic and I don't know what approach to take... except getting credit one and the AT&T charge offs removed.
Once I receive me new unsecured Cap 1 I'm hoping that gives me a score bump because I really don't have any open accounts as you can see. Discover said no to their secured card 😢 I have been a member of NFCU since 97 but my account is dormant just need to deposit money in savings to make active. But I was thinking I need to wait until I clean up my TU and bring scores up before trying for their secured card.
I'm assuming the student loans are hurting me but didn't want to contact them until I got better guidance from you all.
I could desperately use some guidance from you all

BofA - Max CL/Based on Income?
Rogue posted a topic in Credit Forum,
Well as most of us know, BofA if nothing else, is at least fairly generous with their soft pull CLI requests on a regular six month basis. It has also been well established that BofA has a de facto MAX aggregate unsecured credit card limit of $99.9K for most mortals, however IIRC both Hege and PotO have exceeded this.
So my question pertains to MAX aggregate BofA unsecured credit card limits in relation to total income so that we can set better/more realistic goals and expectations with BofA and not waste our efforts in pursuing limits beyond the BofA underwriting paradigm.
My aggregate limits are just a fraction below 50% of total income, so how far should we push this?

Nurse told me I’m in collections. Is that a violation?
MrsMoneyBags posted a topic in Medical Billing & Medical Collections,
So my ob office just called me back because I had a health question. The nurse told me I was due for an ultrasound but that they can’t schedule it because I’m in collections for $234. First, I had no idea we were past due but I’m not happy my nurse and probably my ob have access to my financial info. I feel like this could impact my care. I get being deactivated and not being able to schedule because of being past due. But the billing office should be the only one who has that info. If I called in, the receptionist should be the one to say they can’t schedule me until I talk to billing. It feels like a violation of privacy for the nurse to know bc it could impact how they see me and thus, how they care for me. Are drs and nurses allowed to know the billing info?-

Some Houston hospitals are telling ambulances not to bring in any more patients -- ERs are past capacity. In Corpus, the ME's office has requested FEMA morgue trailers because their morgue is past capacity already. -

I have never been tempted to get a Capital One cc. Just a gut feeling or woman's intuition to stay away. I just got through reading an old 2010 article about Capital One easy to be approved with the bar set at fico 660 average score but they litigate more aggressively than other cc companies. I find it strange that they are a 3-puller of credit reports but cater to borderline default customers. -

Let's not act like it is a fair playing field for consumers. Most people who can't pay consumer debts also can't afford an attorney or to settle a debt they already couldn't afford to repay, especially in two weeks time. Lest we forget, the average American family cannot come up with $400 for an emergency on short notice. Whereas debt buyers and banks always have their own attorneys, if not a whole team/firm. On top of that, the court does not provide representation for the consumers in these cases, so they are either on their own or at the mercy of the court. Less than 10% of defendants in debt cases have their own attorney, whereas the vast majority of these cases end with default judgments. Don't tell me this all comes down to personal responsibility or laziness: that is a class-privileged point of view. The system is not setup to help consumers challenge these cases. It is meant to steamroll over them in two weeks because they are confused, broke, and feel helpless to stop it. -
No. You didn't make any boo-boo. The word DUP has an open meaning to it and JOHN in this vantage point referred to the latrine, so conjecturing the two together would become of a restroom depiction. -

I didn't come here to argue with you why I do or don't transfer money. Frankly, it is absolutely none of your business. I came here to share the information that DCU says it can be done, but it doesn't work. That's it. Hopefully, this information can be helpful for someone else who might want to use that feature, whatever their reasons might be.
