Spark Card CLI decline using an OLD bureau!!

Decline reason was my credit score was not good enough ... i was like Waaat! They are all at 700!! Looked at the bureau and DATE! EQUIFAX frm January really?!! Showed as 639 ... never remember it being that low neway but really we are almost im April people ugh! I'm not calling to dispute cuz I really dnt need it but my score is 702ish with that bureau .. and apparently they are using a very old score ... tempted to close them both since they are SD anyway both personal and business ... my QS is at 5k ... another one of my lowest limits and my Spark at 6500 ..whatever people guess I'll just keep using my Barclay's, Discover amd Amex ... back with the sox u go Cap1!!

Is the 702 a Fico 8 score? I don't think Cap1 uses Fico 8 either

Its the score across all my apps ... fico, cap1 app, discover app, amex app, walmart app, barclays app .. it dipped in early Jan for some reason but quickly recovered .. cap1 is smoking summin! I was approved at Citizens Bank last month and it was 714 only reason why it dropped to 702 .. again the score showed as of 01/16/16 ... come on .. we are pushing on April ..

Call and recon. They'll pull a new report. I've had some success with a Cap1 recon.

Cap1 uses FICO 4.  (I consider it a FAKO, but have had people respond that consider it a valid FICO)

 

My FICO 8 on EX is 717.  My FICO 4 is 633! I was denied a Venture One, so I feel your pain.

Re: Spark Card CLI decline using an OLD bureau!!

FICO 04 is the 'morgage' scoring score....

 

it is used by quite a bit of credit unions, cap1, etc...  and always for a mortgage

 

you can view it with the 3-bureau report

Re: Spark Card CLI decline using an OLD bureau!!

Same thing just happened to me.  They show a score from Jan 26, 2016.  Its 653.  Has to Be a fico 4.  Because my fico 8 was around 690 at the time.  Think i m gonna recon. my scores have climbed since account opening. Even though a CLI is never a guarantee, it sure would be nice.  I push the limit every month.   Does anyone know if I recon will cap one do a HP.

Probably would be a hard pull thats why Im not going to bother, not worth it for a CLI .. really thought they used TU but that might just be on the personal side ..oh well
