So, a little background first on my history. Coming off of a nasty divorce where I was deployed as a military member, and my ex trashed my credit. Lovely eh? Well, 2 years later, I have 8 open accounts, and 2 years clean payment history. I get an advertisement in the mail from Firestone for a % off of tires and 6 months no payments. I'm thinking "well, my credit still sucks blah blah ok fine, ill app". I applied and behold, 1200 credit line. I estimate my fico at about 635ish with 34% utilization overall. Total credit lines add up to 21000.
