StantheMan Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Good Job. I’m in a similar situation as you. The rough part is finding EQ pullers only AND ones that I haven’t burned plus that are even worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP80 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hey Shifter, nice progress you have there. 2 questions, do all your former creditors barred you from applying for their credit cards and secondly does any prime credit card issuers allows you to apply for their secured credit card issued by them? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifter Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 The Master Blacklist thread has a lot of good info. Most of the quality issuers have significant BLs in the 7-10 year plus range. StarkRaven$ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For shifter, it is similar to NFCU More rewards but still could be a solid additional tradeline from a prime Bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifter Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 WF pulls EX. Already tried them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StantheMan Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 17 minutes ago, shifter said: WF pulls EX. Already tried them. I have a checking account with WF and constantly get mail solicitations and calls from them even though I was declined instantly a year ago for BK from EX. I do have plenty of revolvers from the usual suspects with good limits and oddly enough banks like 5/3 and BBVA who checked TU and EX also with 15k+ limits. Penfed (The old Travel Rewards) and HSBC pull EQ and after opening a checking account gave me an Advance MC with $20k and $16 respectively. Cap1 is nuts. In the last 3 years I’ve churned 4 Ventures and 2 QS’s. I now have 3 cards after combo with near 80k in total limits after burning them for a good amount. As for the prime ones biding my time may have to be the M.O. unless another door opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifter Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 I guess with Disco, 12th times the charm. Finally got a CLI on my (un)secured it card. $500! Yay! 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifter Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 put in a CLI request on C1 yesterday. heard back today. Quote The credit reporting agency has reported too many recent inquiries. the classic don't call us, we'll call you decline message especially considering I have only 1 inq on TU which is from C1 when I got the card last year.

shifter Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 actually it appears they used EQ for the decision. that's especially odd since they give the free TU skore with CreditWise. and even more odd that they would decline since EQ is a nearly perfect report. but at least the inquiry message makes more sense since I do have 7 inqs on EQ.

So Capital One will approve people for a card while they still have a Capital One CO reporting, but 7 inquiries is over the line? pacemaker67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tralston3838 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 They will also give you a CLI with a maxed out card, but not give you one if you PIF each month.Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly my balance is over $2500 right now. In the past I always waited until I had paid it off. Maybe they like to see a balance? Oh and my 12th statement just cut last month. That likely has more to do with it. Edited October 16, 2018 by shifter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifter Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Also did a CLI request for NFCU from 25k to 50k. Got a notice they pulled a hard on EQ. Not completely unexpected for that amount I don't think although some people have said they have always gotten soft CLIs. Will see what they say.

I have not tried Citi since my BK way back in 2009. I do have a BB Citi with a tiny CL which was converted from some other bank. I keep it around just to have a Citi. I would like the Costco card though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've opened Secured Discover It with max deposit, and got a Wayfair 1k Unsecured since Discharge 2 months ago. Considering NFCU Secured now (2 mos. since Discharge), or removing BK from EQ(via methods in these forums) and going for unsecured. Advice? I guess I'm wondering if I do secured now, and they see the BK. Will they be "blind" to it if I get it removed in a few months and apply for the Unsecured for a nice 20k credit line? Thanks!

shifter Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Just logged into my NFCU account and see they bumped me up to 35k. I would not bother with NFCU until you can get the EQ BK removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to sit on the Discover for now and the wayfair and give it more time and focus on report cleaning before trying for other unsecured. I was surprised I couldn't even get the Amazon Store card. I saw your Citi DC success as well, how long should I wait to try for that? Also, I do have open Penfed and NFCU checking/savings that are low balance and dormant. Should I seed them with some savings to show activity and interest before applying in a few months for a credit card do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
