Well all of my reports have updated and im a little above where i started in june. (660 to 720 to 682) eq anyways. tu should be similar.
cant wait until sep 13' where all of my inquries are non factor.
went from 3 store cards reporting to 3 revolvers, 5 store revolvers, an amex charge, and a great auto (loan/lease)
im pretty exited that i paid down my debt as well. i think i will only let 2 cards report as i wont have enough funds i think to cover both for pif.(before statement cuts) with in all 700 reporting out of 12k aval.
and i have updated my sig with a nice reminder of how many days in total ive been app free and how many in total until my reports are free and clear of all inq.

I just posted on a separate thread, but I'm going to share here, as well.
Two little shrubs in my garden just experienced a growth spurt! I hadn't received a CLI on my GE cards for the last few months because of an old baddie that popped up on my reports and made it look like a recent default. It fell off a couple of months ago, and my reports became CO/CA free. So, I called in for an increase today, and the results are:
JC Penney - $2300 -> $2500
Dillard's Amex - $4200 -> $6000
I love soft CLIs! I'm especially happy about the Dillard's increase, as it gives me one more general purpose CC that is over the $5000 threshhold. I'm very happy with my card limits, and with the state of my garden in general! ![]()
