On 6/3 I applied for a CLI on my year’s anniversary with the Quicksilver. This account started at a $1000 and increased to $1500 5 months later. I received a denial letter a few hours later with incorrect information as reasons for denial. The first point was my revolving credit was too high in relation to limits. I’m only using 12% of 103K. Then it had my Fico Equifax score at 638 when it’s 698. The customer service rep assured me that Capitol One “doesn’t just make up numbers.” Then I asked her are you using scores from when the card was obtained a year ago. She assured me no. I asked her is this card in the bucket and she danced around that question as if she was a gloved man on stage with his 4 brothers. It is extremely frustrating to work hard to be denied with information that you know is incorrect. The card has my monthly Canary payment on it, but that is going to be the extent of it moving forward.

My score on my letter seems to be at least a year old.
I always take what their CSR says with a grain of salt.
As far as scores goes, has your score updated? They might have been using an old score. I try not to ask for CLI until I know my updated score has posted in their system.
Hang in there. My QS and QS1 likes to hang out in the SD now that I have better cards.

Hi, will they provide us the FICO scores based on their system if we asked? Actually my FAKO score from capital one credit wise currently is 733 (same with creditkarma) and will go up again once it is updated. I am not sure if they go by FICO or FAKO free score or the old score the first time I applied (15 y, 9m,11y, 2m, 11y,2m). If they go by the old score when you first applied like some people said that would be weird. The oldest card was bought over by other bank and has one late (2015) because of $2 (yes, $2.00) balance and automatic payment was turned off with none fault of mine. I don't think that would hurt me but still Capital One is not very generous with me.

A few points, OP.
One, denial reasons dont have to be the "real" reason for denial. Really all a lender is saying is that "we aren't giving you a CLI because something in your profile isnt what were looking for."
Regarding your utilization, while it's at 12% due to your high overall limits your debt is greater than $12k. In terms of dollars, not percentage, that may represent quite a bit of risk on your profile, relative to your income, etc.
As for the score, it's important that your comparing apples to apples, meaning the same scoring model is being used with that EQ data and that the scores are being generated at the same time.
Finally, if your account started at $1000 it means it's a "starter account" and very well may not grow much more than the $1500 it has made it to. Even if your score became an 850 today, Cap One will still view your account as a beginner one and not allow it to grow as a result.
I'm going by their letter which mentioned my percentage per available amounts, it didn't mention totals. Despite when the scores are generated, I don't have a 60 point difference on any model from lowest score to highest score with Equifax. The fact is the bucketing of this account, which I referred to in my original post, but couldn't get Cap One to admit to. You're right, I can get an 800 and it still isn't likely to grow just as I figured. A supervisor contacted me but I haven't spoken with him. Wonder if he'll tell me the truth?
