As far as the 4 HPs you mentioned, you applied for 2 new secured accounts and you attempted to unsecure 2 other USB CCs. That's been their UW policy all along. I realize gardening has been a challenge for you, but you can't blame USB for said HP activities 🤷♂️ Hi @FinStar I am not saying US Bank policy is good or bad. I have 4 more inquires from them on my EX. I dont see 4+4 inqs in 2 weeks period. I am sure many CUs would use the same hard inq for 30 days for several lending decisions. I guess it is what it is. Water under the bridge and these inqs will wash off the report in few months. What I am afraid is end of this year when they try to unsecure my 2 secured cards they will pull another 2-4 hard inqs to add to my report. This is never ending torture. I might let them keep my money for few more months and do not ask for them unsecure my $10k cards I have with them and not add more hard inqs on my reports. Any way for now I know how each lender would behave and react.
