4 Baddies that I'm working on
I know my best ally is time, but I also wanted to make sure I set things up correctly.
Thanks for any input
Hello!
I'm not sure about sock drawing the fingerhut account because I've read here that it doesn't report until after your first payment. I have already brought something and nothing has reported because no billing date has came. I read here to pay two payments and then pay it off to get an increase. (Which I'm going to do!) Apparently you have to use it to keep it open or to keep them reporting.
Good luck!
WOW!!! I had no clue...
I will call them on this. I just need it to report and possibly a CLI later.
Thanks for this information!
This looks fine to me for the moment, just sit back, keep working on the negatives on your report and garden these accounts, IMO there is no need to add anything for at least 6 months to 1 yr. Good luck on getting the negs taken care of
gdale6- Those were my thoughts, I just needed you experts to validate it
Thanks

Yes! Mine hasn't even reported yet and I brought something in January, but I guess because no bill is due until March.
