Calling Backdoor Numbers

When you call these backdoor numbers for recon, what do you say to them to get the higher limits? Yesterday I called back after being approved trying to get even higher limits and each one told me that once the application is out of pending stage they couldn't increase unless I do another app with a HP and I said NO THANKS!

 

It will be a while before I come out the garden but just curious as to what you tell them. You act real confident, sound a little nervous are what??

Re: Calling Backdoor Numbers

They will look at your cr profile, income and payment history with them to determine if they can override a cl - generally speaking.

If you are borderline then they are going to want to see PYT history with them and unless you are confident that a potential HP will warrant an increase its not a good idea.

Keep in mind the more they look at your app, the more you can cause an adverse action if you are looking credit hungry.

Are you not presently satisfied with your recent credit accomplishments?  What's the sudden surge for this credit behavior?

I agree as well, the OP is taking things way too fast. Slow and sready is the best route with credit.

Re: Calling Backdoor Numbers

As I said in my post IM DONE but I will continue to ask questions from your experiences to learn for when I do leave the garden. Asking a question doesn't mean someone is gonna go do it, it's to learn which is why I ask and read post.
