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?-

I was notified of a new collection on my credit report, I was *not* aware of such and saw the name on my report via Credit Karma.. Here's what I did, was it a mistake? I called CMRE asked what the heck and why did you report an item on my report? They explained what it was and was for "doctor billing" 3rd party provider and they gave me a date of 7/2019 and I was under the impression my insurance / Kaiser paid for this as they had referred me there. They said NO and that they mailed me a letter in 1/2020 and waited the 6 months then reported it. Seemed like it made sense as they convinced me I could follow up with Kaiser and get reimbursed if in error, so I paid it on the phone was 3 hundred and something. I asked if this would be removed from my report once paid and they said NO, I indicated I'd pay in dispute and follow up with my insurance as I thought had been paid thru them (happens I guess). Anyway, my son was in the car during the call and later was doing some research and felt like I got the shaft as far as CMRE notifying me. I asked why no one called and a single letter may be disregarded if not recognized.. they said they don't have to and probably didn't have my phone number? Anyway, I'm sorry about the longwinded post over small potatoes but the collection hasn't updated (paid a week or so back) and references "Medial" and name of provider, I'm self employed and get bonded from time to time, have good credit but don't think it's fair having the Medical connotation on there. Should I have my attorney draft a letter for HIPAA?, I read some posts here and I guess I could try the WhyChat method but am also a very busy person. Was reported on 6/28 and says original collection opened 12/2019 -

@Why Chat 6 days left on the 30 days and URC updated on July 10th. Still haven't heard anything from Ex. -

Okay, here's an update on the collections that I sent the HIPAA letter with payment to. They've cashed the money order. I have confirmation of that. Was about 30 days ago. The CA is still reporting the debt. I sent the follow-up dispute letter to the CRA and to the OC with the cover letter. The OC has yet to respond. The CRA responded that they've already investigated this and verified it was accurate and unless I have new information they are going to stick with those results. What can I do?
