Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am here today to share my progress during my stay here.
I started sad, depressed, lost... I could go on easily but i wont. I now know enough to guide others all thank you every single one of you on this board. I have some favorites but i wont list them as it my stir some jealousy
.
I have managed to get rid of 5 baddies(2 CO, 2 Collection, 1 Public Record), and neatly organized my reports one by one patiently. I only have one late payment on a closed account with providian which they wont remove. But its a nearly 6 years old late.
Begining early 2006 i could not even get a secured Credit Card. Not because i did not make enough money, but because my credit was so ugly, so bad, they almost called the security guard to escort me out every time. I started with GW letters and tried to reopen some old accounts at fauld and managed to ged baddies deleted and account broughto current status. Today I am offered credit lines that I turn down
too high for my liking.
My Cards:
American Epress Plutinum Charge Card
American Express Blue Cash $10,000.00
Discover More $8,000.00
Bank Of America Visa Signature $18,000.00
Chase Freedom Cash $5,000.00
Carnival Sea Miles MC $15,000.00
Citi Devident MC $500.00 ???? <--- whats this all about?
I got married this past Januarry, was able to get a good
Mortgage with Chase withing 2 - 3 months following the various advice on this board. I am working on my
Utilization (30% right now). Hopefully my scores Fico scores will hit 700
jut like my fakos, all in the 700's.
Lessons Learned:
1. Be patient, very patient and be nice
2. Don't be afraid of trying a GW Letters or other suggested methods here.
3. Read anything that "Tuscani","Brammy" and a few others post. Even if its bad hahaha. just read it Because it will probably increse your score just from doing so.
4. Join "The Sleigh Center" if you can't stop applying. I never needed it, but I love being there.
Thank you:
I would like to tank everyone for all their help.
Below are my EQ Fico Scores over time.
