WHEN TO RECLAIM DEPOSIT ON SECURED CARD WITHOUT AFFECTING MY SCORE

So I have a Secured Visa with Southland Credit Union.. this was my 1st secured card right out of BK because they didn't pull my CR so I was all for it.. The CL is $2100 and I have had it since Jan 2015... My question and concer is... I keep hearing that we shouldn't close accounts because they'll lower your score badly and as is my scores aren't all that great (Mid 600's)... but I was able to get a $1000 Unsecured with NFCU, and a $1800 Discover IT Student CC (Unsecured) as well as another $1000 unsecured CC with Calif. Coast Credit Union.   My $2100 Secured Visa with Southland isn't going to graduate anytime soon because they already told me that due to my BK I have to wait 2 years minimum to reapply for an unsecured card.. but then, do I just leave my depsit there??? :/    What should I do??

So if I'm getting it correctly... the mention that closing a "secured" CC will affect the credit score is "INCORRECT"... Right? It could affect your score if your utilization is not in check as you will lose the CL that Fico makes the calcs on, other than that there is no loss of score closing a secured or any other type of credit card. My utilization % - with the new approved CC's should be about the same or lower considering I'd be closing a $2100 CL but adding two credit lines totalling $2800 so it balances out.. in fact I'd have $800 more  But I will follow the suggestion of waiting for 1yr after opening the account to close it  Thanks so much.

    When you tried to contact Support with the card's images how were you trying to do it, on your phone or a browser on your computer ? And have you tried a different browser to see if you get the same error message ?
    As well as images of the card they might also want an image of its receipt.
    And to contact Support you were using : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ , and clicked on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes ?

  • In Internet Explorer you can tell it not to store information on forms when you're on a secure webpage, so your credit card number is never saved for example - can I do this in FireFox?

    Firefox only seems to let you tell it either to never save forms, or always to - or you can manually list sites not to save. It would be great if I could just tell it never to save forms when the page is a secure page, that way I know it'll never be saving my credit card number for example. Can this be done?

    You can currently not opt whether to store form data or not, so you will have to disable form data completely or use a form data manager extension. Firefox 4 will do some checks on form data to see if it is a credit card number and not store it in such a case.

    Pease dont' waste your time with that useless article. Carolyn has been warned many times before to stop posting that and waisting people's time.
    This error is a little generic at times and there are a few things that could be happening here. Please put in a ticket here for an advisor to check into details:

  • Why do you need a copy of my wife's social security CARD?

    My wife tried to move from her parents family share plan to her own plan. Already a Verizon customer, she was asked to fax her social security CARD to corporate verizon. When asked why her card is needed and not all others who sign up, she was told this was a "Random" policy, like being selected at TSA. This did not make her feel very comfortable in sharing such personal information. Is anyone able to provide a better answer as to why her card is needed? She has excellent credit and is already a customer! If she gets no answer, she is going to AT&T.

    She does not have an issue providing her social security number in order to perform the background check- she did so. The issue we are having it that she was then told that she needed to fax her drivers license and social security card in order to complete the credit check. When she asked why, the answer was "just because". She asked if everyone had to do this, and was told no. So she asked why SHE in particular needed to, and no one could answer that question. She does not feel comfortable doing this, and she should not have to if it's not required of everyone.
    She would like to be able to set up her account without faxing her social security card, like many other people are able to. Can you please let me know who we can contact to make that happen?

  • Secured Card Changing To Non Secured

    Hello everyone, I'm pretty new to the credit game. Around the time I signed up on the forum I opened my first secured credit card with the intentions of buying my first home. At the time I had no credit score. Things have been moving along pretty fast. Now I have three secured credit cards and two secured installment loans as well as a mortgage commitment on a house I'm in contract to buy. My mid score is currently around 733 or so. I have been trying not to make any waves during the mortgage process. Last night I received a letter in the mail from TD Bank (my first secured credit card). They are saying that they are upgrading my secured credit card to non secured and realesing my deposit. I'm pretty excited because it would be my first non secured credit product and also my highest limit credit card (2,500). At the same time I'm a little bit concerned because I don't want anything in my credit report to change during the mortgage.  I was originally told when I first applied for the secured card that it had no chance of ever graduating to non secured and after a full two years I could apply for a non secured credit card with another hard inquery and it would be a new account. The old account would be closed. Now the rep I talked to says it will be the same account and no hard pull will be done. I hope she's right because I don't want my score to go down by having an account closed and a new account added to my reports along with a hard pull. I didn't ask for the card to be graduated. They sent me a letter saying it would just happen and there was nothing for me to do on my end. Does anyone think this could make my score go down or complicate my mortgage process?  

    I got the same letter about 2 weeks ago - no any changes for now. Will see.

  • [X79A-GD45 Plus] Secure boot without Windows 8

    I'm having trouble using secure boot with the GD45 Plus. I can only get related settings to show up in the bios when enabling Windows 8 mode. This might not be a problem except for it complaining that my graphics card isn't Windows 8 compatible, and then aborting.
    I don't care about Windows 8, I just want to boot my own signed bootloader. So my question is, how can I get the firmware to use secure boot without Windows 8 mode, or at least ignore hardware compatibility?

    Secure boot could only be use for pure UEFI mode so that means if you want to use this function then you will need to enable the Windows 8 feature,
    For your VGA, you either check with your vendor if they got UEFI VGA bios for you to update or you will need to use a new VGA card... 

  • HELP! I need to be able to remove power from a PXI chassis and replace a card without rebooting the whole system

    I do not have particulars on the controller, but I am sure it's an NI chassis
    and NI regular controller that has a serial cable leading back to the PC.
    I am making this PXI rack into a debug rack for instrument cards,
    so I need to be able to remove power from just the PXI chassis
    and then replace the card with another one
    or the same one and then turn the power back on and restart a
    diagnostic test on the card WITHOUT
    having to reboot the PC.
    Is there a PCIe bridge setup that would allow me to do this?
    Is there software that I need that can accomplish this?

    Yes
    The Chassi is a NI PXI 1045
    and the controller is a NI-PXI-8331
    Let me re-enumerate my requirements:
    Background:
    I have a number of NI cards as well as other manufactured cards in the system.
    One of these cards in the NI system is considered to be a UUT.
    That is, I am using the NI card cage system and other cards in the system to test a CARD
    during a manufacturing test of said UUT CARD.
    The UUT uses a PLX 9030 for it's PCI interfacing.
    This UUT is not designed for hot swap, and I do not bieleve it is plug and play.
    Requirement:
    1. I need to be able to shut off the chassis and remove the UUT when the test finishes, replace the tested UUT
    with a unknown UUT, re-apply power and then test the new UUT WITHOUT having to reboot the PC.
    I have tried several things, such as disabling the PCIe busses in the windows control panel, and then removing power
    replacing the UUT with the next one, re-applying chassis power and then re-enabling the bus and SOMETIMES it works.
    I need a very robust way to do this.
    I also bought a CHROMA PXI-52906-E extender card with bus switches on it, so that I can remove power to the UUT
    without shutting off the chassis. The card is supposedley designed so that when power is re-applied to the UUT, the necessary
    signals to boot the PXI PCI interface is conducted, but I think something else has to be written to the card's PCI registers.
    I am by no means an expert in PCI/PXI, 
    but I seem to have exhausted all of my reserach online in how to meet my requirements.
    Perhaps there is a way for the NI8331 controller to capture PCI configuration data to the card's on system boot,
    and then "replay it" to my UUT after I re-apply power to the UUT?
    Or perhaps PLX makes such a tool?
    Any ideas?

  • I create my apple id from my boyfriend macbook and its says that I have to review my itunes information , when I get to the credit card number info etc. Its keep asking me for that I dont have any credit card and I dont want to put any , what should I do?

    I create my apple id from my boyfriend macbook and its says that I have to review my itunes information , when I get to the credit card number info etc. Its keep asking me for that I dont have any credit card and I dont want to put any , what should I do?

    You cannot use that ID without a credit card. You did not create your account correctly. There is very specific way in which you must create your account if you do not want to use a credit card. If you don't have a credit card, you will have to start all over again.
    1. You will have to sign out of that ID before you can create a new one. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID>Sign out.
    2. You cannot use the email address that you used for the first ID that you created. You will need to use another email address now
    3. You have to download a free app in order to start the new Apple ID process.
    Read this before proceeding.

  • TS4009 my grandson couldnt get a icloud account so i gave him mine but when i brought something my credit card was on his phone how can i get a icloud account for my grandson

    My grandson couldnt get a icloud account I had to put him on mine , it stated that you this phone is no longer able to ge a free id. so I gave him mine we now share but when i brought something my credite card went on his phone. I was able to take it off but when he downloads game it comes on my phone is there a way i can get him a account or is there a way i can change mine and it doesnt effect anything i have down with this account

    He can continue using your icloud, but he can still create his itunes account. As long as he is over 13 that is. On his phone - sign out of your Apple id in settings- itunes and app store. then follow instructions below and create his account. You will still share icloud (contacts, calendars and more) but itunes music, apps, credit card of yours will not be for him anymore, unless he decided to buy more icloud storage.

    in the future I recommend you to get him off your icloud account as well, you don't realize it, but he can wipe your phone within seconds.

  • Tutorial: Print index cards without removing paper from tray for Officejet Pro 8000.

    The HP Officejet Pro 8000 and Officejet Pro 8000 wireless do not have a slot for inserting index cards and envelopes.
    If you are wanting to print index cards without removing the paper from the tray, follow these steps.
    The steps below are for 3 x 5 index cards.
    1.) Open Microsoft Word
    2.) Go to the Insert tab and insert a rectangle shape
    3.) Draw a rectangle of any size
    4.) Right click on the rectangle and select "Format Autoshape..."
    5.) Under the Size tab, enter 5" for the height and 3" for the width (make sure "Absolute" is selected)
    6.) Under the Layout tab, select "Center" for the horizontal alignment
    7.) Click OK
    8.) Use the keyboard up arrow key to move the rectangle to the top of the page.  Make sure the top edge of the rectangle touches the top edge of the document.
    9.) Print this document on plain 8.5" x 11" paper
    10.) When you want to print an index card, place this 8.5x11 document in the paper tray printed side face up.  Then place an index card over the rectangle and align with the border of the rectangle.  After you print the index card, remove the 8.5x11 paper for the next time you need to print an index card.
    Note 1: This are USA instructions.  If you live in the UK or other countries you may have different paper size standards.

    I can't tell you how much I HATE this printer.  I will never buy an HP product again.  BROTHERS printers are simply and easy to use.
