I've been lurking a while and leaning a lot. Just thought I would tell you guys about the progress I've made, and ask your advice on what I should do next.

 

Bad stuff:

 

-Tax lien......I'm currently taking care this. Getting resolved this year.

-Collections.........1 that will drop off in about 6 months.

-Repo........... Car repo in '08

-4 Inquiry's 

-6 months of history

 

Good stuff;

 

-Car loan.......Since 5/13   No lates.

-Credit Card.......Since 7/13  Just hit 6 months 

-All payments on time

-Low Util..........Pay off card every month

 

Scores:

                  Fico EQ. 667

                  FakoTrans. 667

                  Fako Exp. 679

 

 

My Cap1 Platinum just had an 6 month auto CLI from $300 to $1300!! Not bad, I was expecting less. As soon as I saw the increase I had a chat session with one of there reps. She was able to do a PC to the Quicksilver One. I wasn't able to get the $39 fee waived or get more CLI. I also called a backdoor number and couldnt get any more.

 

What should I do next? I was thinking about apping for the Barcleycard Rewards. Or maybe Carecredit, I need some Dental work done and it could get expensive. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!

 

 

 

 

 


Based on those two factors being together, I would wait until your Tax Liens has been resolved before considering any type of credit from Barclays. And to note, more than 2 INQs on your credit report within a 6 month period is also a red flag. Just give it more time and handle your that tax lien first.

According to one poster, 2 new TLs within a month is enough to get Barclaycard nervous.
