Good morning all,
I was doing so well with my Silver Spade then got excited because I saw three green checkmarks in my Chase "selected offers for you." I'm actually mad, super mad at myself for taking the plunge since I didn't need the credit for anything. My utilization is already low (4%) and I had even received 2 SP CLIs: $1.5K from Disco and $1.3K from Chase FU. So back to the garden I go and no more unnecessary splurging for me. Really, I'm just shaking my head in disbelief that I did this. The card will be SD.
Congrats and high five to everyone who stayed strong and true to their credit profiles.
Goooooooooood morning boys and girls. Happy April!
Paid off one installment debt yesterday, paid off one credit card...and still have a few dollars left over to add to savings.
On Monday, I'll pull all three Fico 8 scores for DW and I, and we're hoping to see a nice boost with zero inquiries and zero new accounts for six months.
No firm end date in sight, still thinking that I'll just spend 2017 hiding from new accounts.
I planted my seed yesterday and now I'm embarking on Day 1 of 730 days of gardening. The first 30 days are the hardest, right????
My focus in the garden is to mature my profile with continued PIF payment history, < 10% overall utilization and SP CLIs (Q4 17).
Happy April Fools Gardeners....dont get "fooled" by high interest rates!! LOL See what I did there? STILL waiting for my Platinum replacement, was supposed to be here yesterday nada, called and they said Monday, great I leave on a business trip early Monday, oh well, THEN this morning UPS sends email says it should deliver today - was delayed due to severe weather.....Well if this is the only issue I have today IT WILL BE A GREAT DAY!!
04/11/17 = One Month
Excited about my one month garden anniversary! Can't wait to receive my Bronze Spade.
As I reported in the March thread, just focusing on eliminating my student loan debt this year. So far, so good. Looks like I will make that goal with no problem - hoping it will happen in October vs December!
Nothing new on the credit front. May seek some SP CLI on my existing cards but no urge to app for anything new.
Happy April everyone! April is the best time to garden, isn't it?
So, I was poking around checking things out yesterday for me and for DH. I checked his free score from Discover score card and something seemed to be missing, but they only show a summary. So off I go to the Experian web site. BTW- did y'all know you can get a free report from them EVERY MONTH? No score there, but you can actually view your report. So between Experian and CK you can keep an eye on all of your reports for free. And you can get your free ex FICO from Discover scorecard.
Anyway, back to the story. So I go to EX and check hubby's full report- no foreclosure! I go back to mine from 5-6 days ago and it is there. So it looks like it has fallen off of the first report. Happy dance, happy dance!!! It should be off all 3 in July.
No news on the CLI front either. I think both AmEx and Discover are about 10 points below their CLI threshold due to my balances. Still working on getting those paid back down.
