So off subject CA, I thought you worked out all your EQ problem, last time I looked your EQ scores was around 690 now i see it at 628ish?  Baddie reshow or inquires? Smiley Tongue


HAHA, worked out... I filed a complaint with whatever that agency is called and it's not been escalated because Equifax responded there typical BS way and I believe the huge score drop came from Equifax being cute by updating and changing every so slightly the charge offs that I have been disputing for GE (ge considers them paid in full for less than full balance - NOT CHARGED OFF)

 

I unlocked the report for 2 days last week when I grabbed up my Neiman Marcus and Saks... I'll update my EQ report score again when I get the Saks denial... the super high score came from DCU but then they denied me so i don't know. otherwise it's in lock down and no one is seeing it... I hate them and if I had any real cash laying around I would battle them in court until the day I died... I really can't express on the board HOW far my hatred goes towards the company! they have been the thorn in my side since my BK and they always run 20-50+ points... at one point they were over 100 points different from my other credit reports.... ALWAYS ALWAYS the last to hold on to anything bad, the last to update payments on accounts... I mean I literally have accounts that still have not updated for 2-3 months, I have accoutns reporting opening last week that have been open for 2-3 months on my other credit reports, they removed almost ALL of my old accounts so my AA on EQ is like 2 years and it's almost 6 or something on EX, the list is endless and im only fighting them on the GE accounts and 1 Target account and the BK, I gave up on them actually reporting my current accounts correctly or on time.

the only thing they manage to update instantly is inquries and when i get to many they delete accounts to make room for inquiries!


Oh I hear you.. EQ is the the thorn in my side as well.. When I disputed stuff they wipped off my positive trade lines as well!  Needless to say I got them reinstanted, but a pain in the arse...   They were 75 points lower then my other scores last month, now they are only about 10 points lower then my other scores this month... What changed???  Nothing that I can see!!  They are a true mystery to me.

I debtated Chevron hoping for Visa but Chevron has come at least $.20 cents more than 76 Gas most times here in SoCal and Banana Republic Visa but I have a Gap that I'm AU that neither of us have used in like 3 years or more so that seems pointless.

 

Belks - i could use it occassionally but it's just a store card so I wish I would get pre-approved for it instead of flat out apply and I wish it had a visa option if I was going to get it.

 

I can't find any useful business cards either!


There's gotta be some random store card.   Do you have a Cost Plus World Market card yet?

Have you tried applying for the Nordstrom card?  or brooks brothers mastercard?  Good cards with HIGH CL's.

If you like subtle but cool logos and good quality I recommened them.

 

 

 

The polo shirts last a long time and they have good suits, underwear etc...

 

THey started me with a $10K limit.

I just saw you had 65 cards.  I am glad I am no tthe only one addicted to this.  AFter getting so many cards and high open credit do you ever et the "Too much open credit" denial?  I got it once and my open credit is just over $100,000. I imagine with 65 cards you are way up there in terms of open credit.

How about the Santander Bravo MC?

 

https://www.santanderbank.com/us/personal/credit-cards/bravo

 

Or... Popular Community Bank (aka Banco Popular)

 

https://www.popularcommunitybank.com/us/consumer-banking/credit-cards

 

Maybe Bank of Hawaii (by Barclays) - either the BoH Rewards AMEX or Hawaiian Airlines?

 

https://www.boh.com/personal/banking-products/credit-cards.asp

 

Or, by a long shot... perhaps the Hello Kitty Rewards Visa?
