Been Very Busy.......

[RSCo]

After 6 yrs of gardening after facing a home foreclosure in 2006 and a resulting $23,000 federal tax lien filed against it in 2009, I decided to try and test the waters.. 

It all started in Nov of 2012 when I was approved for a $12,800 car loan thru Hyundai.. Then I thought I would give Walmart / GE a try back in Nov 2012 and was approved for a $600.00 CL.... 

I then just went on another app spree this week and was approved for..

2/09/13    CHASE - $2,500.00
2/11/13    Amazon - $1,700.00
2/12/13    Discover - $5,000.00
2/12/13    BJs Visa - $1,800.00
2/12/13    Amex - won't know the CL until the card arrives this week..


I also thought I would give a call to my existing CC account holders to see if I could get a CL increase... To my surprise...

2/12/13   Citibank - $2,200.00 up to a new limit of $9,880.00
2/12/13   And my Credit Union Card where I have a 6k CL, I requested a bump of 4k... Request Pending Some Time Today...

There's hope ya'll even after the most horrible credit disasters...

Amex doesn't have any automated system to tell you so I thought I would wait for the card to arrive..  I'm not expecting anything huge.. In 2005 I had the Amex platinum and when I lost my house, Amex closed it even though I had never ever been late with them and was a card member since 1997..
