Joining the garden!!!!

I went on a small spree Smiley Wink

 

Best Buy RZMC = Aprroved for 500

Credit One = Approved for 300

Wal-Mart = Approved for 150

Shell MC = Approved for 300

Discover IT = Denied

Barclays = Denied

Local CU = Denied

 

I just realised that is a lot of inq's. Very small limits but we all have to start somewhere i guess. Hopefully i can garden for at least 6 months and have my scores go up.

Congratulations! Glad to hear you'll be joining us in the garden! I hope we can help you stay strong, avoid apping, and grow your accounts into bigger, and better tradelines! Gardening will definitely help you. While you're doing that, perhaps you can also address any other issues that might be on your report? With the denials and small limits, I'm guessing you're either new to credit, or perhaps you have some items on it that you may need to correct? I hope we can help!

That is wonderful! Many of us wish we could be where you are now and start over. You have the chance to go forward and not make the mistakes we did. I sincerely hope that we can help  you!

I hope so as well.

 

I can't answer your question, because I don't know the answer. It seems different for every person in every situation, so I couldn't even hazard a ball park guess. Smiley Frustrated
