Re: HSBC/Orchard Bank Limit Increases

I have had orchard and household cards for about 4 yrs now and I asked for CLI maybe twice and never received it. Now my utili is down to 38% I called on Sunday and they increased both cards to $100. I know its not much but my scores are not that great so i took what they gave. Now I can't wait to pay down both cards to zero in about 2wks

yeah I was wondering why I have not got an alert from myfico about the inquiry which I did more than 5 days ago. Usually my alerts are send within a day or two

I just checked mOrchard Card account to see if I can request a CL online and got the same message, to call in. My Orchard Bank Credit Card was opened in 2008 with a credit limit of $300 and they never once game a credit increase.  I have never made a late payment, have paid more then minimums, and current balance due is $0.  I may call in later to request one; will let you know how it goes!

 

 


So I finally called and was approved for a $100 increase!  After opening this account in the summer of 2008 with a starting credit limit of $300 and never made a single late payment I was denied a CLI in 2009  and 2010.  So I was thrilled this was approved!  

 

FYI my current balance due is $0.  They said they would pull a credit report and I asked, they said it would be a soft pull.  They asked for my income and when I asked gross or net, he said net.  I doubled checked and asked before or after taxes and he said just give me the before taxes.

Congrats to those that got the CLIs. I requested one but was denied, account too new. No INQ is what the CSR told me.

It may or may not be that they saw my account's age and didn't even pull though, so YMMV.
