Re: Operation: Get Mortgage 2017 - Mission: Rebuild Credit

I have a question for y'all? Where should I start cleaning up? I already started disputing some old addresses and numbers. They are already been removed. So what to do now?

HSN - 7-10 day message Approved for $750

Overstock - Approved (Don't remember the amount) for $250

J Crew - Approved (Don't remember the amount) for $250

PayPal Credit - Approved for $1750

The Limited - Approved (Don't remember the amount) for $250

Reed Jewelers - 10 day message

Forgot to add that I sent my dispute letters containing innaccurate items on my credit reports and meeting with a home counselor to get some expert advice on other things I should do. Fingers crossed!

I also see you did too many SCTs, keep like 2 prime cards like 2 SCTs that up will use, payoff and close the rest, use the prime frequently, keep under 30%, next year use prime prequal pages to see if u are credit worthy. But don't open anymore. I started with 3 cards 3 years ago after bk7,you need like a 700 score, will be an uphill climb, best of luck.

IMHO, I don't I have too many SCT TL's. The way I figure it, the good TL's will outnumber the baddies.

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think mortgage lenders look at AAoA's.

AAOA factors into your score.
