Well, congratulations on the new card....but assuming it did a hard pull and you didn't anticipate that, I don't know. Are you absolutely sure there was no indication that you were actually *applying* for a card? I'd be really upset if that happened to me. In fact, I'd request the HP be removed from my reports.

 

With three new cards just in November, you'd do well to garden for a couple of years! Smiley Very Happy  Come join us. It's nice in the garden...


The HP would be on EQ and there can be delays on seeing the pull.

 

Also, it is very straightforward to know when one is applying for Truist products if one is logged in to the app or website. This isn't like "oh I got confused and somehow ended up in the woods" scenario.

 

In the past BB&T used to have a pre-qualification portal where any eligible offers were SP -- if approved. Ask me how I know.  Even then, you know where you are as far as navigation within the app or website. FWIW, the OP didn't recall and forgot about applying for Aspiration ZERO, but they eventually got to submit some verification docs and were approved. Bottom line, the Truist app isn't tricky or gimmicky to trick anyone from doing something one is not supposed to.  So, if they incurred a HP as a result, asking to remove it is a moot point.

I agee, this was probably my fault. I just figured that I would have to enter my name, address SS#, DOB etc. I never realized that the technology is so new that they knew all that and I did not have to enter it all. I think that is what caught me off guard. I am not even sure which card I applied for???? hahaha I think it was the purple one??? 

 

Speaking of the Aspiration card I need to open a new thread, I am very concerned about how they are reporting the new card or should I say lack of reporting the card. Smiley Surprised

My Aspiration ZERO card hasn't reported either and I'm ok with that. Sometimes 'invisible' tradelines can be a good thing. I would imagine before a new thread is started on this, give things some time.  I typically wait and see how new products tend to function after 60 days (from a reporting perspective). So, lack of reporting is not a bad thing unless you're adamant that you need to see it on CRs.  FWIW, Diners Club credit cards went years without reporting before they [BMO Harris Bank] decided to change that.

Lets see. As per the Citi bank double cash MC my FICO is 787 today and the Suntrust site says the same today.

My oldest account is ouch 42 years old that is an old Chase card.

Total credit cards including the new ones not yet in my hands is 81.

Total credit lines not knowing the Truist line so I will not include that. As per EQ 1.35 million. EX shows 1.38 million

I have an open dispute at HSBC which is resolved but EQ is not including that CL in my summery of accounts. The account shows up as excellent but the CL shows as blank. Not the same at the others, they show the CL.

Average age of accounts 13.7 years

My highest CL is $300,000 and my lowest is $5,000, Several in the $75,000 and eight in the $50,000 range with the majority between $5,000 and $25,000

Thanks

Re: Accidental approval Truist CC

I did something similar with BB&T a couple years ago. I knew I was in the application process, but I had done that on numerous cards before, and would back out/close before getting to the final "Submit" page. It wasn't clear that I actually completing the application and it resulted in getting a card I really didn't want. Ultimately, it was my fault, but their app process was unclear about how far I was going with the app. 

Here was my thread about it back then:
