That would be amazing for utilization. Does anyone know if this is harder to get than just the CC? I have a very fresh file. Now that all my baddies are gone, I have two accounts reporting. I am AU on my wife's Cap One card that is 20 months old and I have my own Cap One card that is 8 months old. I also have a ton of student loans all opened within the last 2 years (ugh, I hate how dept of ed reports each individual loan separately.)

Pretty funny actually because both my EX and TU are frozen. I called the analyst backdoor after getting a message saying it was processing. He told me that the automated system tried EX and TU and both were frozen. He then offered to check EQ. He did and I got a $1000 limit. Not much obviously, but it's a start. Just happy to have my foot in the door and I can hope for a CLI down the road.
Hopefully I can just get one more after my EX clears up and then it's into the garden with me for a while.
Congratulations on your new Freedom!!

I can't say for sure but I don't believe it's harder...it's actually something psecu offers and recommends to their members from what I have read.
If your report is completely clean of any negatives or lates I believe you have a good shot of being approved.
JIMBO SUFFICE IT TO SAY THAT iM HAVING A GLASS OF WINE IN CELEBRATION!!!!!II hope you got some beer handy, now not to sound like a hen but take it easy your on an app trip yes better than ^&* sometimes but I think call citi find that # they ask why report frozen tell them your old address mixed up with another and thats it. Dont say anything else. THe other reports are open they should be good indicators of your worthiness. YOU ROck!!!! congrats on freedom yeah and by the way you are'nt sleeeping tonight your head is in the zone....a place where dreams are made from another dimension out of sight and might you have just passed through THE TWLIGHT ZONE![]()
I told you Im from Long Island all my life went to college in Hackettston nj somehow wound up back here in North NJ and the most beloved thing about it
is BYOB Im laughing so hard Enjoy you celebration with your wife ...don't get cocky though no pun intended![]()
Congrats and yes as you experienced, you can direct them to pull any report you want if others are frozen. Unlike Citi, who will absolutely demand you unlock the one(s) they want.

Just a reminder for everyone to be careful talking about this tactic. It is considered unethical to attempt to manipulate which CRA is pulled by freezing other reports.
I'm not saying you are advocating this approach mxp114 but this is a good place to bring it up.
Good point Vet. To anyone thinking about that tactic, you would be wasting your time. Lenders periodically SP, so if they see some baddies on one of your frozen ones, you could face AA such as CLD or closure at credit grantors request.

Sorry, I didn't realize I was posting anything that was frowned upon. I will stay away from that for now on. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting wasted INQs when I didn't think I would be approved.
