congrats. Though with a 740+ FICO I thought you would be rubber-stamped


I was afraid because I almost always read people suggesting to get the Zync first, but to be honest, I didn't want a charge card. I wanted the credit card or nothing, so, why not try now before they saw my recent Discover be put up on there lol

 

And thanks!

 

 

 

I still don't know what the CL is.

I'm going to have to call in for that one.

None, whatsoever.

My CR is clean as of the 16th of February :smileyhappy:

Just had an evil cell phone collections hanging around that wasn't supposed to be there, but that actually got turned into a positive tradeline.

Other than that, positive payments for years.
