Hey guys,
So I was discharged from BK7 in June and I have opened 3 accounts and I am a AU on my girlfriends CC she has excellent cred but she would not put me on any of her other cards until I prove my financial worthyness!
The cards I have are
Orchard - 300 limit
Cap 1 Secured - 200 limit (I will be adding deposits to them for a whole yr.. to build up to 3k.
First primier - 300 limit (was first card was approved for will cut them loose at 1 yr mark.
I have a car loan I needed! Crazy intrest @ 28% but I needed a car! I will pay off balance in tax time! I purchased sept and still isnt reporting.
my monthly payments are $250 but I have been paying 500-600 a mo to pay day the balance.
I had an APP addiction so I racked up a whole lot of inquiries this yr because of trying to rebuild and a car loan..
I have 22 inquiries on all three reports so I wont be apping for anything until Nov 2014.
So any recommendations in 2014? Should I keep the car loan? or just pay it off. I have 3 installment loans
The car that hasnt reported yet and 2 student loans = 5k that are on defer status.
In 2014 what should I do to create a diverse file? I will not APP for anything because I know i wont be approved for anything!
All accounts previous are IIB 1 car loan, no CC's all Medical debt if it matters. I am sending letters out all the time to get these removed but anyways im rebuilding so i know i need to garden just need some advice!
With that high of interest, pay it off as soon as possible. Garden those cards that you currently have, pay everything on time and just let your CR heal.

This is a keeper right here... You should not app for anything and let your accounts age and grow. Also let your INQs age off...the are only factored into FICO scoring for 12 mo's. Just continue to build your credit, your are making great progress. One day you will have to change your user name lol.
Yeah shes great! But I know im making progress but I just dont feel like I am!! I think I need to forget about credit for about 2 years and just garden and pay my bills on time.. I use the backdoor on my reports daily to monitor for free. I have like a billion soft pulls for eq, tu and ex because of it.
But anyone have any recommendations?? Should I cancel first premier at the one yr mark and up the limit on my cap 1 secured? I am trying to grow the orchard card but they wont fricken give me a CLI! Im gonna protest by keeping it 0 balance!! Maybe if i get my cap1 secured upto 3k they will give me a CLI.. On my CLI requests they never hard pulled or soft pulled me.. They just say not enough time established with credit line..
P.S. LOL.. when my score changes my name may be irrelevant but it will be a iconic symbol of my dreaded past!!
Don't close it. if you don't care about AF. And just don't use it. They will help you raise your score. After another year,I believe your score above 600s
So I'll ask,
What negative items are on your CR? With your scores the way they are now, there are definitely some derogs on there. List them here, don't be ashamed as we are all here to help. (create another thread with that info)
You can raise your score above 600 much faster than 12 months.
