Re: Letting Capital One go...

Just keep in mind, Cap1 hangs around when others dont. You don't have to walk on rice paper with them worrying about AA.

Keep them....

Not sure what I'm not understanding, or not communicating well enough.

 

Capital one won't grant me a CLI on any of them.

 

Capital one won't let me consolidate them.

 

Balance transfers are in process that will nearly zero them out.  When those process, I will make teeny tiny payoff payments to five of them.  After all five of them report zero balances, I will try for SP CLI's.  (I fully expect denials again)  Then, I'll wait 30 days and try to consolidate them.  I fully expect denials based on four of the six being "non Capital One originated cards".

 

MJ made a good point about util, so I may just leave them sitting empty, but Capital One has been zero help to me for more than a few years now.

Have you tried combining, or are some of those old Household acts?

One was Orchard, Two were Household, One was somebody else I can't remember.  Smiley Happy

 

They aren't paid off yet, so I haven't tried combining...but only two of them are original "Capital One" cards, so I believe that those would be the only two that I could combine.

 

Right?

 

 

They need to be zeroed out for you to combine them. They may not give you a CLI from the old Household accounts, my wife had an old Visa that was stuck at it's current CL that she combined into her QS.

I totally understand your frustration with Cap1. Been there, done that.

 

In order to combine at least one of your accounts must have a $0 balance. 

 

What were the reason(s) Cap 1 declined your CLIs?

 

How does your overall credit profile look? Were your Cap1 and/or other account's utilization 50% or higher?

I don't think that it has anything to do with his credit profile, there are a lot of posts that suggest that Cap One does not give CLI's for cards to originated with another lender.

Re: Letting Capital One go...

Just keep them like MJ said. Utilization has been your enemy. After you get refinancing in place that's the time to dump them.
