Should I pull trigger on Penfed or Wait...

 

 

So I want to apply for the penfed bill consolidation loan for 14500.00 (so I have all my debt with penfed)

 

My total CL's are 101k, total debt is 26k (11k on penfed card, 4.7k on bofa, 10k on citi cc)

 

I have had (2) penfed cc's since 2014.  One has 15k limit, 10k bal, other one has 5k limit, 300.00 bal

 

I had 14k auto loan with them PIF recently

 

They say they use EQ "EQ score" not fico.  Mine is 627

 

Have 56 % utilization 

 

Income 165k

 

 

fyi..I paid off all my debt other then 26k...just nothing has updated on CR yet.

 

 

So, should I try my luck or wait ?

 

I am getting really eager to try.... I don't wait well....

You are better off waiting for your credit reports to update before applying.  That way, you stand a better chance of approval.
