Sorry this is so long. but can anyone help us to build up and get higher limit cards. I can tell you what our scores were about a month ago but not lately cant afford to pay for all 6 right now.
 
His   TU 689  EXP 649 EQ 600(now)
Mine TU 679  EXP 638 EQ 599(now)
 
got our EQ from our banker that is who they pull but he could not help us right now due to credit issues he said.
 
Oh yea and our Inq are around 25 or so each and I have sent letters of dispute to the CB because we can only identify 6 of them
 
thanks,

With those scores I'd say WaMu would give you the best limit IMHO and usually only pull EX.  The consensus seems to be that they are BK friendly.

I think smartcookie meant WAMU will pull TU and not EX.

Hi nikkoslilmouse,
 
 No one here can tell you "what would be the best card with the highest possible limit" based on the info you supplied because you don't have the "facts" available to you. Please don't be offended, I'm really trying to help you.
 
You really need to back and start at the beginning of the process. Get a current copy of your credit reports from each CRA (EQ TU EX). Go online to myfico .com and order your scores and CR's from them. If you use the discount code MW01 at myfico you'll get a 20% discount and it'll cost $38. Now that you have the current facts in front of you, your job is to analyze the info on the CR's and determine what is hurting your FICO score and if it's factual or not. If not, you begin to dispute the info.
 
Please, the best thing you can do is go to the newbie section and read, read, and read more. Credit Scoring is a game and if you know the rules you can achieve your goals.
 
People on this forum are very willing to help you but they want to know that you have invested some time and effort trying to know what's going on. If you post a message her asking for someone else to do the work you probably won't get much help. But, to be fair to you, some one should tell you this. I really hope that you are able to improve your position, after all we've all been there.
FICO scores on November 17, 2014 (prior to applying for and being approved my mortgage)

EX=738
EQ=735
TU=754

FICO scores on March 4, 2015 after being approved for mortgage and buying the home, the mortgage isn't yet reporting.
EX- 689 EQ- 739 TU- 739

I know they typically were pulling TU but a lot of people are having EX pulls as of late.  DH included, also in NY.  But I stressed the usually as I've read some people have even had EQ pulls too.

I was at another forum and many in fact are reporting WAMU pulling EX. Something is changing. In Hawaii EQ was almost always pulled by local banks and mainland banks, CCCs and lenders but this is changing too. I am hearing that EX is being pulled more and more here...I wonder why.Smiley Happy

I think we are going to see EX being pulled for the majority of solo INQs across the board.
