A paid collections is often look upon more favorably during a manual review. However, like others have said, my guess is that your utilization is the main issue here. Pay down those cards, and then try ask for a CLI again. For cap1 you might need to contact EO.

Re: Just learned something new about CLI request with Discover

Cap1 has been very generous lately. I received a CLI with 80% utilization on my Cap1 cards (bill due later this month will get that way down)

Try everything you can to get the utility company to remove that bad mark. My only bad mark was from my old electric co. and once it fell off after 7 years my score went up 46 points. I would go to the office in your town and have a face to face meeting.

Major breakthrough. The collection agency reporting has merged with another, and lots of names are in the press release as well as the media relations manager's email Smiley Happy.

 

Now I know their email formula. Smiley Happy
