So I've been reading a lot of threads of ppl being successful through recons whether it be for a new card, new product or cli. I haven't been successful at any of my recons. Does anyone have any tips to share?
I'm a bit of an introvert and I'm wondering if maybe the tone in my voice brings uncertainty as to why I haven't been successful.
Sueblue34,
I get told that alot to that i dont need to be so blunt or rude about things, When i mean no harm it's just how i talk. I like to get straight to the point on stuff when im on the phone or at work.
If you think that is the issue you might try sending a recon letter. Here is a sample

Send it to the contact info that they post on your credit file. However if you can find the email for the CEO or someone in underwritng i would email it to them also.
Hope this helps you out.
Good Luck
