CL Increase for newish card question;
Options

‎07-08-2008 05:27 PM

Turned down by Chase until I can get my Circuit City paid down since it is $100 OL.

I was 3 days late on that last month.

Do you think if I pay it down to 10% or so ($300) that they would agree to CLI so when I re-apply I have a higher CL to show?

I don't know, but if it's like the rest of the Chase cards, and I don't know if it is, there will be a hard inquiry for the CLI.
4/16/09: TU: 775, EQ: 805
2/11/09: TU: 773, EQ: 790, EX:790
11/16/08: TU: 773, EQ: 785, EX: 780
Goals for 2009: 0 Credit Card Debt & 0% Util (achieved 2/6/09), Mortgage! (achieved 11/2/09), getting closer to 800 scores (I crossed this earlier this year, but I'm sure I'm not there anymore!)

Oh yes. Chase and hard inquiry are pretty synonymous.
Here we go again...
