There was a thread posted prior by Kris10smom about the backdoor route to trying to obtain a credit limit increase after that 6th statement deal. I took the info with every intention of emailing somebody once I hit the 6th statement to get more than the $250 that they guarantee you as a part of the credit steps program. My 6th statement closed on 04/20, my birthday was 04/19 so I was outta town celebrating and hadn't come yet. Anywho, I logged in to my account today to see a $1000 increase. They took my unsecured card from $500 to $1500 in 6 months. A little background, I have a secured card with Cap1 $500 limit and a car loan too. I was only expecting $250 next month and planned to call/email to try and get that increased.. pleasantly surprised !!! I did get that NRG Group off my credit report so I now have EQ (FICO) 672 , EX (FAKO) 661, TU (FICO) 660..Bankruptcy Chpt 7 discharged 08/12. I hope to make the 700 club before I hit the 1-yr mark on my BK discharge!!! Now on to getting my car refinanced...18.97 interest rate sucks..Thank you all 4 all ur help
