Apps for the DW

Helping the DW repair her CR and build new credit.  Since Aug. this year, have raised her scores an average of 100pts. 

 

New CCs

 

Cap1                                  $1000

GEWalmart                       $700

GELowes                          $2000

Citi Diamond preferred   $1000

 


Had previous GE accounts CO, paid them off 2 years ago.  Got them removed from her CR

 

Citi, had 2 previously CO'd accounts, paid them in full, also 2 years ago and got them removed.  Guess Citi doesn't blacklist.

 

I know they're low limits, going to have her call Walmart UW tomorrow and see if she can get a bump.  Then putting her in the garden.

Starting Score: 504
July 2013 score:
EQ FICO 819, TU08 778, EX "806 lender pull 07/26/2013

Good Job!

Why did she wait so long? Her hubby is a Moderator of the myFICO forums. She has all the resources she needs living under her roof to start the journey much sooner. Smiley Tongue
