Does ANYONE Know about FINGERHUT CLI ??

[Anonymous]

Anyone have info on getting a manual CLI with FingerHut??  I'm at a $250 limit and tis insane !!  Ive emailed the CEO as of tonight and 3 other execs, I hear many people get CLIs this way.  My credit profile ranges from $700-$3000 cards, all unsecured!  Barclay, NFCU, Western FCU gave me $1000 today!  Any other input?  Any emails I should use or phone numbers to try? I know they generically tell you they dont accept customer CLI's, but i'm not buyin'!   Thanks for any input, fellow credit zooms !

Buy something small and pay it off. We did that with my wife's card. Purchased something for $30 and got an $800 increase.

Hi! Well that is what I did -- charged something for $200 out of $250 limit, paid $90 first month and just paid remaining. How soon after you paid off did they CLI? I know it's usually around statement cut time ??

I sent in a email .they said they dont do customers requested increases but got one a few days later for 300

Honestly.... its time for U to dump Fingerhut and consider another unsecured cc to further assist in your rebuilding efforts. U didnt state scores or any other relevant profile info but gleening current cards theres nothing more to be gained by maintaining FH. Look n2 Discover & Cap 1. At this point a good rewards card to go along with your Barclays and CU cards will serve u well. Again this is a blind suggestion offered without benefit of addtl info. But a safe one nonetheless.

Thank you -- but I can't add more due to my scores of high 500s (took a hit after a collection appeared from 2011). So I get denied everywhere. My scores are TU 580 EQ 577 EX 604. Rebuilding still as well. So my goal was to build with Fingerhut
