Current Scores -TU 737 - EQ 715 - EX 709

They were much higher until my most recent accounts hit (and my TU inquiry debacle a few days ago didn't help at all). And to be fair, when I started app'ing last fall through this spring, my scores were all in the mid-600's (maybe a little less). Then when my only 2 collections were removed my scores jumped way up (TU hit 770). BUT, I am back to reality an realize adding so many accounts so quickly was a horrible idea. I just couldn't stop after the first instant approval - I had went like 20 years with always being denied, it felt so good to finally be approved. At least I'm over it now and will be gardening for a very long time

Definitely 2015. I never thought about playing the "credit game" until I found this forum.

I have 20+ new credit cards this year.

About 25 including second half of 2014.

Inquires are 11, 9, 8.

AAoA is still over 8 years.

In the last 6 months... 9 Credit cards, 7 Store Cards, a Line of Credit, and a Personal Loan.

I've opened five in the past year and plan to open two maybe three more cards this year.

I opened like 8 New accounts in this entire year itself. I am definitely in a need for garden with 30 inquiries addding all 3 credit bureaus together. My fico score now ranges from 652-684

I wonder if no accounts are open any further for the next 2 years will a lender still view the 8 accounts as a risk?

As someone who's been doing the churning thing while the credit recession prevailed, I opened about 70 accounts in the last 5 years, The lion's share of which are now closed. (by consumer) I've slowed down a lot over the last year as creditors tighten up.
