App Spree...

I checked my FICO this morning and saw that Santander had finally removed a old collection that they re-aged from 99 to 2011. My FICO's jumped to:

 

EX - 633 to 663

EQ - 610 to 701

TU - 604 to 643



Applied and was approved for:

 

Macy's  - $500

Kohl's - $400

Home Depot -$2500!!

 

I was declined for the Discover it and Care Credit.

 

Awaiting a decision on Chase Freedom. Got a email saying they'd review it and send me the card if approved.

 

Was hoping to get everything in one swoop.

 

Time to Garden once I get my Credit Acceptance 24.99% auto loan refi by DCU.

Re: App Spree...

Thank you all. It was a long, expensive road.

 

Ate so many bullets and realized how taken advantage of credit rebuilders are.

 

I appreciate the value of having "better" credit. Hopefully in a year I'll have good credit. Get "primed up" and sit again for a couple years until it's time to buy a new car.

I did not. But I was approved for 1.24% for 36 month refinace and lowered my payment by $61 a month and shorted my loan by 8 months. I am a big guy, with a tough hardcore job and I was in tears.

 

So Awesome...

 

Said my score was a 737. Seems like my app spree did not hurt me.
