Maybe you bought phone, laptop or something like that
🤷♀️
I by phones through Verizon and have always used cash or bank cards for laptops. It's crazy! I can't figure it out. I have to live with it anyway so oh well I guess. Thanks for the input though.
We could try again uploading images. Where you trying from your phone or pc/tablet?
What kind of error did you get when trying to upload? Was it size issue or something else?
I am pretty certain if we could see all the open and closed accounts (with personal info redacted) it would probably lead to some good guesses on which account is the most likely culprit.

Yup, I still have that reason code (when I'm pretty enough to see it, to be clear it's more minor than even inquiries which is to say it's not hugely relevant) with a CFA that's been closed since July 2012. Good lord, I still have 3 more years with that darned thing on EX/EQ, I truly hate the way CFA's are implemented and the fact so many more things these days count as a CFA and then you're stuck with a 10 year penalty.
Weak FICO, weak.
Well, I stand corrected. But for my Prosper loan I opened it in June 2014 and started getting those "too many CFA loans" message and when I paid if off in June 2015 those messages stopped. It's still listed in my closed accounts, but the only negative message I get in my Fico score is "loan balances too high", my DCU car loan opened in Oct. 2017 is at 70% of original loan amount. I'm hoping that goes away when I get it down under 50%.
Chased the same comment and it did not go away until I got the loan paid under 30%. Why would I rush to pay a loan that has a favorable lending rate? Nonsense is what it is. I ignore it!!!

Yep, my car loan is 2.99% for 60 months, I'm paying it off or down just to make Fico happy, "loan balances too high" is on Ignore. I do think that's a dumb feature of Fico scoring - a credit card at 70% is a sign of trouble, a car loan at 70% means I'm paying it responsibility.

The simple answer to that is just that is just higher liability for the lender. Remember, the scores are made for them, not us. They are meant to give a lender a picture of the risk of extending new credit to a customer. More debt is more debt.

Honda and Toyota are both known to code as CFAs because they will try to get anyone qualified for financing to try to get them in a vehicle.

its the Honda loan.
It's probably the Ally loans. They're much more likely to flag as a CFA than a Honda loan.
