Current Credit Card  total : 3

Current Credit Line : $20,000

Current Debt Line across all Sync cards: $0

Current Fico 8 scores: 788 TU 721 EX 732 EQ

 

High/ low candidate (in your opinion): Moderate

 

I think I'm far less at risk than I was when my exposure was $33,500 across 5 cards but Sync is tied with NFCU for highest exposure and that's still the danger zone. The only thing I think might save me is my balances have been dropping big time. I was around $4300 in February and I'm down to around $1700 now. They also likely have in their computers that when I filed my 2010 bankruptcy, GE Capital Bank was not one of the creditors who got burned since my Amazon card had a $0 balance. 

The thing is, I'm not so convinced that these are being done looking for any specific patterns.

About three years ago US Bank reduced my total credit do to the fact I had more than my annual income. They were fair and reviewed everything and we worked on a solution that they agreed too. No surprises either way and they were right about my being greatly over exposed. As conservative as they are, I am surprised it ever happen. The fact they were polite, professional and willing to look at the total picture did a lot as I know "it was only business" ... which was true. Worked with a senior supervisor in credit analysis not front line personnel as they were not empowered to make changes and adjustments. If it was going to happen, I felt they treated me as well as could be expected!

Re: Synchrony Bank Total Exposure Thread

Current Credit Card  total : 3

Current Credit Line : $9,300

Current Debt across all Sync cards: $100.00

Current Fico 8 scores: 801 TU   643 EX   704 EQ

 

Risk: I think I have a moderate risk. I don't have a lot of exposure, but they have been holding all of my payments on my Paypal Mastercard and I have not been using my Synchrony Home card very often. I do PIF, so that may or may not help. I am also still rebuilding, so here's hoping they are only watching my TU report.

Yeah it's certainly risky letting me have more than my income but since Capital One is sitting at $18,250 and NFCU is at $20K too, Sync isn't taking on the biggest risk of exposure with my profile. 

We will see. The only card I would miss would be Amazon really.
