Cap One - my first big CLI

I started getting my act together financially back in 2011. (Long story, but basically catastrophic illness in the family + an ugly divorce = sub500 scores for years). I logged into my trusty Cap One account today, and they bumped my limit to $3500.

I won't run it up that high (addicted to my low utilization!) but there was a time I couldn't finance a Happy Meal. I started with a ton of debt and a $300 secured card. I had to log out & log back in to make sure I hadn't gotten things mixed up someplace.
