I had a CH7 that discharged in Jan 2015. Sadly i didn’t take the immediate steps to rebuild for numerous reason as far a new trade lines.
Currently i have a secured Cap1 since Aug 2017 for $200 that i payoff monthly and make sure when the statement cuts its only show 1-30% utilization, An auto loan that i got in October who’s 1st payment was 12/3/17, a Secured USAA Amex for $200 that just came in the mail today, a self lending loan for $1K who’s first payment is Jan 2018, AND I’m considering adding a secured discover IT card that i was already approved for. That would give me an personal loan, installment loan and 3 credit cards all reporting positively.
I know the two, and if I add the discover card, three credit cards are all secured but I’m hoping my payment history will get me in the good graces with the CCC’s.
Do you think this is a good “workflow” ? What type of conservative increases could/should i expect to see?
