it was the last card of my summer spree (so most if not all of my new cards got reported already.) and my car loan inq were already there ontop of my bank happy ones.

 

no baddies per se. 

low aaoa.  (9.5 months) 2 cards over 2 year mark though. 

high inquries.

high util due to christmas shopping. 

 

i honestly apped for this card for my score and would have been happy to add the backdating. that's all. 

 

no bk or any lates or charge offs.

Interesting, so at least for you here, 20% utilization is enough to be called out as too high.   Was this just on the Zync, or your overall credit cards?

overall 

pif my zync before the 28th(the time my statement closes) has always reported zero. usually use this card until i hit 490 and pif. sometimes 2 times in one month. when apping though there was a 30 dollar charge already showing for  my xm in my car. 

 

right now i have 5 cards reporting out of 10

4200/21000 according to ck. 

will be cut in half by end of month and back too 2% by end of feb.
