Cap1 CLI denied too many inquiries. Recon?

Hey guys, 

Was denied a CLI for my Walmart Cap1 card because of too many inquiries. Problem is they were all from auto loan shopping a couple months back. As I have read on here Cap1 is mostly automated so for the most part they do not recon. Is this something I can call about or just wait a couple months and try again?  If I must wait I will but, does anyone know how long?

Cap1 doesn't do recon for any reason.  Calling won't change the denial.  The problem is that multiple inquiries for a car loan or mortgage are counted as one for FICO scoring.  It does not mean that a creditor cannot count them separately for the purposes of issuing credit themselves.  It sounds like you need to spend 6 months to a year in the garden letting some inquiries ago off our out before trying again.

No recon available I'm afraid. Best you can do is just wait 6-12 months and then try again.
