Re: What should I spree for? Super detailed post.

I think if you app for the bcp too it will only count as one inquiry, I think I read that some where here can someone confirm though.

This is going to be some of the weirdest advice you ever get here but call BOA executive customer service and ask for deletions of the old lates. BOA's system tends to purge closed accounts at 5.5 years. If the trend holds true, those negative accounts can be deleted now because they won't have a way to verify them. They do a limited soft pull and will delete immediately if the accounts don't show up.

 

Be warned and use a lot of patience: The lady from FIA/BOA executive is not known for personality. Smiley Happy Make sure to request they're removed from all 4 agencies so Innovis doesn't get neglected.

 

BOA is pretty much the White Whale of credit repair. If those accounts have been closed more than 5.5 years you have a chance.

Okay they are going to try and PC it but I have to wait until the day after tomorrow since I applied so late. I went ahead and applied for BCP but it said I needed to call in and then they explained its a duplicate application (so not extra HP). I guess all I have to do is wait, but woohoo! I am part of the AMEX family! thank you for the push everyone!

Congrats Mama!!! You are on a roll! Let us know if they let you PC to BCP, I was approved for BCE 5k a few weeks ago and I was kind of wishing I had applied for BCP instead. I could definately use the 6% CB on groceries vs. 3%!!! Anyway, congrats on all of your recent approvals. Now head on over to the garden after you pick up a store card of your choice....LOL
