AMEX Approved!!! 6 month credit history today!

Today is my official 6 months of credit history and received an Experian FICO score of 677 (still debating spending the money to find out the other scores). I applied for AMEX Plenti and got approved!!!  Not only that, but a $5000 limit!   Should I apply for any other AMEX cards today?  I thought I saw that they use the same pull if you apply the same day.  And if so, which card or does it matter? Thank you again myFico members!  I cannot believe this is happening!   (I had NO credit score 6 months ago, and a thin file... now I have Chase Freedom and Amex Plenti!)

Plenti is probably their easiest card to get right now, so your approval doesn't say anything about likelihood of other approvals. 2. The fact that you just got a card might cause them to deny you automatically. 3. Your scores aren't that strong  yet. 4. Best bet is to wait at least 6 months before applying for another Amex card.

  • Verizon employees admit their error--then Verizon decimates my credit history, and my life

    Hurricane Sandy knocked out Time Warner's high-speed cable internet service in my NYC neighborhood for a few days. I would later learn that Verizon FIOS and DSL were both disputed in other neighborhoods, but in the immediate post-Sandy confusion, Verizon sales staff targeted non-Verizon customers in areas where Sandy had disrupted cable internet but not Verizon service. My contact with the outside world having been just restored, Verizon offered me the "deal I couldn't refuse": Just "try" Verizon high-speed DSL for 30 days. "No obligation. If you don't like it, simply cancel within 30 days, and  you'll owe nothing," So I figured, Heck, why not, I'll take the "free" trial.
    I quickly learned that Verizon DSL service is worth about as much as Verizon had said I'd have to pay. (Nothing.) In the third week of experimenting with Verizon's shockingly slow, unreliable service , I sent Verizon written notice of cancellation, via my online account page on Verizon's own site, well within the 30-day deadline, stating clearly that I wished to cancel within the 30-day trial period, and that I found the service almost worthless. Verizon ignored me, and in subsequent months sent me bills for increasing hundreds of dollars. I responded with increasingly strident ALL CAPS messages demanding Verizon honor its 30-day "no-risk" trial offer, within which time I'd canceled. Verizon continued to ignore me, sent increasingly threatening notices for ever larger amounts "threatening" to cut off the so-called "service" that I'd long since stopped using, finally did cut off service, and then sent me notices claiming I owed nearly $400.
    I called and spoke with two Verizon representatives, the second of whom acknowledged a mistake on Verizon's part. She promised to have the matter resolved.
    I then heard nothing for nearly a month, at which point Verizon or the entity to which it "sells" its "bad accounts" reported to all three credit bureaus that I'd defaulted on my account (the existence of which it was also reporting for the first time to the three credit bureaus). Amount claimed due: $150. My credit rating, which I'd be carefully protecting and improving upon as I'm of trying to refinance a mortgage, dropped to its lowest level ever. The banks that service my credit cards consequently slashed my credit lines, increasing my debt to equity ratio, and further decimating my credit rating.
    At this point, even if Verizon corrects its false report that set off the falling dominoe effect in my credit reports, at best it would take months if not years to repair the damage Verizon caused my credit history through a fraudulent report. More likely, the damage is beyond repair. I cannot refinance my mortgage, and I am stuck with a 30-year interest rate on which I'll pay many tens of thousands of dollars extra over the next several decades thanks to Verizon's lies, deceptions and violations of my legal rights and fundamental normal of human decency.
    As if all that isn't bad enough, Verizon's 3rd-party bill collector never ceases calling me, 8 a.m.. to 8 p.m.. I'm just one person, and I never wanted any business relationship with Verizon at all. Yet this corporate monstrosity and its vultures mercilessly, endlessly trample over my life. "Just pay the 150 bucks and be done with it," you say? Of course I'd pay {please keep your posts courteous} their unlawful ransom, but even if that finally made them go away, it wouldn't repair what they've done to me.

  • My subscription monthly credit did not renewed yet

  • How to change the setting on Iphone to have more call history, i see only 1 week of call history all other android phones support atleast month call history.

    Hello all,
    I need to see more call history on iphone 5 earlier modes were atleast storing  1 month of history but now i am very much looking for more call history, where the call history should be available as a option where user can set when he needs 15 days history some people needs all call history it shoul dhave all call history, this might also be a draw back for apple as android or other phones has much longer call history, hope the ISO 7. would address this and fix to have more call history, Would Apple be considering the call history, if any one know how to configure if atall it is available in iphone please post your comments here.
    it would be really helpful for some many users like me.
    Thanks
    Sreenath

    I archive my call logs using PhoneView (Mac). They are saved in a nice PDF (or text if I wanted) which I then store in Evernote so that it's availble on all my devices. I could also use iBooks or any other PDF app to view them. If you have a PC, look at TouchCopy.

    I lost my iPod touch 32 GB a month ago, and today I got a new iPod touch 64 GB. While syncing it with itunes, I got my music library, books and purchased items back, but I didn't get my photos and videos.How can I get my old photos back in my new iPod?

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • Death of a spouse -- kills AU-based credit history?

    Hello everyone.  I have tried doing a lot of google searches on the credit scoring implications of the death of a spouse.  They seem exculsively interested in whether the survivor is liable for the debts of the deceased. My question is different.  In the case of my aging parents, my father has traditionally handled money issues: loans, mortgages, paying utility bills and credit cards, etc.  He's been doing this for probably at least 20 years, maybe 30. My mother probably has four credit cards, maybe five.  But it recently occured to me that it is possible that the actual accounts are in my father's name, and she is actually just an Authorized User -- perhaps on one, two, or all five. If that is so then I am guessing that, if my father were to die first, then for every account of his on which she is only an AU, this account would vanish from her report fairly soon after his death.  Is that true?  Or would the account stay on her report but as a closed account?  (Thus giving her the benefit of its age for another ten years.) My concern of course is for her not to go in an instant from 20+ years of credit history to no history whatsoever.  Does anyone know how an AU account is handled upon the death of the account's owner? My guess is that this is easily solvable by my father putting at least a couple of the older cards in both their names: joint accounts rather than her as an AU.

    I'm not sure what you mean by it making accessing files more complicated. I have both Pages 4.3 & Pages 5.1 icons in my Dock as well as Numbers 2.3 & Numbers 3.1. I continue to use the iWork '09 versions for my everyday needs. As long as the new versions are in your Applications folder & the '09 versions in the iWork '09 folder, Software Update will not have a problem updating them even if Apple should come out with a new update for the '09 versions.
    Because I have moved the new versions to an external drive & renamed the apps because I want '09 to be the default apps, I do have to remember to move them back to my applications folder & restore the original names before updating. But since you like the new versions this "complication" doesn't apply to you.

  • Tried to buy an iphone online. Lack of credit history.  Got some questions.

    Hey, just tried to buy an iphone online, but cause of lack of credit history I had to pay a $100 deposit and pick it up at my local store. Does any of you know if I need to go and pick it up in person or if I could send my brother to pick it up and pay the $100 deposit, as long as I order it online in advance. Kind of on a busy schedule for the moment .

    Call the local store and ask. Most likely, you'll need to pick it up yourself, as there will probably be a signature required for the contract.
