It’s my own fault. But I didn’t catch my bank not doing my auto payments. And got two months behind. Went from a 781 to 690. It’s fucking bullshit.
And there is no recourse. It basically fuck you we don't care.

Did it go down on all 3 ?
Not sure. Went down on both from credit karma.

I was going to pay the bike off too. But now I need the payment history.

Won't paying the bike off show as a paid off loan, plus a lower d:e ratio, thus helping your score just as much as keeping that payment around? Missed payments will show for up to 7 years IIRC.. staying current on other payments isn't going to offset that.

yes.

also if it was for the bike you can call and have them remove that if you agree to pay it off. just get proof of conversation OR send a letter.

Okay then I’ll just pay it off. That puts my d:e ratio to 0. I only owe a few grand.

Good to know. I’ll give that a try tomorrow evening. I’d like to hope they will help a deployed service member out. I will play that card to get my credit back up.

deployed service guy with cash in hand.... all they want is their money. be nice offer to pay all the fees and stuff and pay off loan on the condition they fix the report.

Shit like that stays on the reports of people that are poor and or too lazy to get it removed.

Just went to two of my cards and requested credit line increases since they hadn't gotten any in a while.. $1200 added to one, $1500 added to the other. Both soft inqueries, so won't negatively affect my credit score. Boom.

I’ve never had an issue with my usaa credit card in 5 years. But they will not raise my limit past 1k. But god forbid I ask chase for a 1k raise and I get 5. My chase cards are 12&6k. So I just don’t use the usaa card except to renew my Xbox live.

I never ask chase for increases since you have to call to do it now. I just want to click a button on a screen and have people throw money at me. #camgurl

Yeah not really poor. And I’m motivated enough because I’m pissed my bank didn’t do their job. I also like the fact that in five years since I got my first card I made no mistakes and got to 781 credit.

I didn’t know they went to a call system. I’ve always done it on their site. But they have also randomly increased my limit too.

It used to be weirdly hidden on their site, then I heard they got rid of it. I haven't checked myself in a while though. I'll do that now.

Got another $1000 added to a Banana Republic store card that I never use but keep open because it doesn't have an annual fee :troywax:

Isn’t there a point in which too much available credit is a bad thing?

6?

Nordstrom store card that I opened when I bought a suit cause I got free tailoring and some decent cash back.
BR store card.
Chase Southwest.
Discover It.
Target store card that I use for the 5% off whenever I shop there, plus free shipping from their site.
Aviator Mastercard.
CapitalOne Visa.

7. Maybe more than I should have, and I know store cards don't look great on your report, but I don't think it's too excessive. Aviator, CapitalOne, and Discover all have annual fees, so I'm planning on closing them all next month before they hit.

I've been wearing Levi's 541, athletic slim fit jeans for a few years. I owned three pairs, but just ripped through the crotch of one of them the other week. Bought some Levi's 505 from Costco for $30 yesterday hoping the straight fit would be better than the slimmer fit of the 541, but they're still too tight even though I sized up the waist a bit. Need to return those, and then try to find some Levi's 550 on sale somewhere for a decent price. "Relaxed" thigh that tapers in below the knee so the ankles aren't super baggy around your shoes.
