Can't Crack The Code

[Anonymous]

I guess my profile does not match what Cap One, US Bank or Discover is looking for. Attempting a CLI on all cards, over 1 year and no love. Cap One sitting at $750 (I guess I am in the bad boy bucket). US Bank sitting at $650 and $2,000 limit on Discover, been sitting at these limits since July and denials with every love button click. However, Cap One is willing to give me a decent 6% APR on a $35,00 car. I dont understand that one. I guess they will meet the sock drawer or cancellation. I have better cards to replace them. Losing those limits will not hurt my UTIL very much since I received a CLI on Navy which will offset the loss of those limits. Maybe giving them no use will want them open up. If not then "Oh Well" they were good to me when I started on my rebuild journey.

Unfortunately your 2 lates are a big hindrance. 19 months is still considered very recent and makes you look very risky. Add that with all the inquiries on your reports showing credit seeking behavior and they are concerned about stability. That 3 year old charge off is still very new as well. Have you tried to pay that off and get it removed from your report with a pay for delete arrangement?

The 6% APR auto loan is secured by the car, totally different UW criteria to an unsecured credit product.

The charge off is not my account so I refuse to pay it. It's from my ex wife. I have disputed to no avail. Most of the inquiries were for a mortgage / car in late 2017. Since I have opened these cards, I have received cards which have better rates, much higher limits ie. Amex Ed @$11000 and Amex Gold NPSL.

Capital One and US Bank are both known to be stingy with CLIs even on clean reports and Discover is very much hit or miss but regardless of your later successes, you are likely being held back by the negatives on your report with the first two companies you mentioned. Discover... nobody has cracked that code.

If the item is disputed but not rectified in the appropriate manner, I would see in reaching out to the CO company to do a DV (debt validation), since it is not you specifically listed on the account (also, keep in mind, co-signers are responsible for any loan), and AU's are not financially responsible for a credit card, then you have every right for the CO to be removed off your report.
