FINALLY!!! Freedom CLI!

kobe2012 — Mon, 13 May 2013 21:09:08 GMT

So, I froze my EX report since I have so many inq on it and yesterday I requested a CLI on my 7 month old freedom with a limit of $1000... They denied me on recon 4 times saying the same thing that I have to unfreeze the report... I called EO today (twice) and they told me the same thing and that they can't do anything about it.... I tried again for the last time and was willing to give them my pin for EX but then, the recon guy (recon number on sticky) said that it was turned down due to lack of history..... I realized that he must've pulled a diff bureau or the EO did (but did not tell me)... the guy asked me a few questions, income, rent, what i'll be using the card for, etc... nothing about my report and BAM! approved me from $1000 to $5000!!!! this is my main card ... took me 7 calls to get it, but it's worth it... not sure if they pulled EQ or TU... I will find out in a few days... never give up people!!!!!

.... tomorrow will be my 7th statement.... got approved on EO recon for $500 late oct 2012 then auto last feb for $1000, now it's $5k.... ... would I be able to get this to Visa Sig??? and who should I call???

I called again and said they have to do another pull since it's a different card... oh well, I'll stick with what I have right now... it's only a two month old card anyway with an ok limit... don't wanna be greedy....

@modernsurrender: I did call EO on d number listed here but they said they couldn't do anything with my EX frozen...... I then tried the recon number again listed here as well and he was able to pull another report .... Most likely TU....
