Thanks CreditNoCash and others for your responses. This is very helpful to me. I will look for an auto CLI on the Freedom at 2, 4, and 5 month marks to see if I end up being an exception...I hope so. If not, I will wait until the 8th month and have a hard pull done to see if I qualify for an increase.
