So excited! My credit is looking up!

I am so excited, a few weeks ago I requested a CLI from Capital One on my Secured CC.  I got a notice saying that they were not able to grant my request because they do not do CLI on those accounts without additional deposit.  I logged into my account today and my CL is now $750!!! It was $300!  WOOHOO!!!!!


Also, last night I did the shopping cart trick and was approved for $500 VS CC!  I am beyond thrilled.  It is all starting to improve!  I have a long way to go, but am hopefully going to have a large enough sum of money in the next month of so to be able to settle ALL my remaining debt.  Just had to share with people who understand the joy of things like this!  Smiley LOL

Re: So excited! My credit is looking up!

After reading your post I did a CLI request on my secured card.. I doubt they will give me one as i just got the unsecured Plat Card (Should have done quicksilver) but maybe one day i can do that one.. I am waiting to see what happens .. I would like it to go to at least 500.. I love the credit game now as I am referring to it .. I am trying to get my UTI really low Smiley Very Happy

Re: So excited! My credit is looking up!

How long have you had your secured card, and do you always carry a balance or pay in full each month?

GOAL - 700 FICO across the board!

Re: So excited! My credit is looking up!

I have had my card since Sept I was THRILLED to get it I PIF every month but I have high UTI (Bill is due 8th i I PIF the 1st and 15th) This month UTI was 49% I didn't pay in full for 2 months paying mim payment but always on time never late. I got it with a $49 deposit and got a 200 CL and it was increased (I think in March to 300) Never gone over limit. Also just got (Its in the mail now ) Cap 1 Unsecured Card
