If these are federal liens, I would suggest using the Fresh Start Program to have them withdrawn.
As as to why EX is showing 653 and EQ 691- they are different scoring models and it sounds like your util/new TLs were weighed heavier on EX.
Thanks Lexi. The balances will deff be paid down dramatically over the next few months. I'm going to pay off as many as I can with only letting 1 or 2 cards report. That makes sense about the scoring models.
The tax leins are State of CA. I know some people have successfully petitioned to have them removed. They are valid and they would be under no obligation to remove them.
Back to the garden for me for at least 3-4 months
uh oh, my 61 days is in 9 days! I literally just paid off 4 credit cards including the AMEX TE, now 8 of 9 are will report zero. The only card with a balance is my AMEX green with $68 posted and $100 pending which will be paid once it finally posts... Current limit is $2800, I have paid off my TE in full since I got it last month only charged about $100 in January and $220 in February. Do you guys think I will be approved for my 3x CLI?

Can't address whether they will approve you. What did your reports, and probably EX, look like the last time they sp'ed you? That is the sp they will use not what you look like on your 61st day. Good luck and let the 9 day courtdown begin
Today's my 61'st day but I'm not really in good shape so It'll be months before I attempt the 3x CLI.
I got both my BCP and PRG Jan 1. I haven't even used the BCP once ... still trying to reach $2000 spend on my PRG before 3 months are up ...
EX score is 700, was 735 when I applied. Overall uti is 34%, I have 85% on a Chase Freedom thanks to college tuition. I'll try to get that card down to less than 50%, and my score hopefully back up to where it was when I was accepted-maybe use the BCP exclusively for 2 months and PIFand give this a shot

Happy birthday and good luck when you do try for a CLI
?
Hey guys,
So my girlfriend just got approved on the 61 $2k -> $6k and I am really happy for her. It got me thinking, I never got my own CLI at the 61st day.
Is it too late now? I already have $15k, should I even bother increasing it at all? If i do, what should I request? (I think asking for $45k is just ridiculous lol)
Thanks for the info.

If you dont mind sending in some tax/income docs I dont see why not. worst case they dont give you an increase or you decline the increase due to not sending anything in, medium case they counter, best case you get a 45k limit. I fail to see a downside
edit: Forgot to say congrats to you and the girlfriend for the great limits!

Well i was too scared, so I asked for $25k, they countered with $22k. I'll take it as my CLI
