Capital one QS1 Second CLI 2 months

Hi, This is my first post and wanted to share a very minor step in improving my credit thanks to some info from this forum. I am 29, W2'ed 136k last year and on pace for a good amount more this year. My credit is aweful; far to many spring breaks, random trips, etc... I have been fairly sucessfuly over the past 4-5 years but really picked up last two years. I should have started to rebuild earlier but it is what it is. My auto loan in 2009 said I had a score of 535. I applied for a credit one platnium and got a CL of $300 in febuary, very suprised and applied and got approved for Capone platinum $500 limit, I believe both had fees, I think credit one was $75...thanks. My scores at that point were 563 EQ 565 EP 563 TU according to idendity guard so take that as you will. I used the cap one very heavily and paid off every other day almost, as much and fast as I could. I made sure to keep an eye out for the actual statement date not due date and made sure to keep utilization around 5-15%, sometimes higher because pending transactions - I think once I was at 30%. April I got approved for QS1 39 fee, 500 CLI. I used this card a lot, I just cashed out $135 in rewards cash towards my account so I think its close to 8k. I wrote the EO in May got a call back, explained my income, why i was using the card so much and explained i wanted to use it overseas for europe for 3 weeks because of the zero transaction fees. Asked for 2500, said i would accept lower and got $1000. I wrote EO on Wednesday, they called me Friday and asked the same questions and she was very happy I provided my last 9 pay stubs and a snapshot of my checking and savings account. Today I opened up the APP and saw a $3500 limit , I requiested 5k. I am very happy, doesnt say WEMC still the ugly logo. I also got a random CLI from creditone when i got my quicksilver increase the first time. Current Scores 617 EQ 625 EXP (688 TU, this is vantage 2.0) so i know its horrible - probably around 590-605. My plan is to wait 3-6 months until I can get high 600's with experion or w/e amex pulls and try for a everyday card. Thanks for the help everyone, and I found the EO email all by myself

Congrats

Rebuilding help- need tips for Capital One Accounts

Hi- Thank you all for all the wonderful information, you make rebuilding seem so easy and attainable! I never realized all the different versions of scoring, how to do debt validation, get errors removed from my report and where to focus my attention. Just 2 months ago my scores ranged between 556-580, today they range from 600-611 so little improvement over the last couple months. Here is the situation I am in. I have 3 capital one cards, 2 of which are platinums with $500 limits and 1 is the old Orchard Bank card w/$300 limit. These cards are 6-8 years old. I also have a Fingerhut account w/a $1650 limit, totalling $2950 in credit of which $640 is in use so utilization should be about 22% (making a little more headway on this util each month). I have been 100% ontime w/Fingerhut for the last 2 years. 100% on time w/my auto loan for the last 36 months and almost always on time w/Capital one except for 3 months Sept-Nov in 2014 where I went over my balances and accrued over limit charges that brought my minimum payments up. Technically I was still on time but the $50 a month per card I was giving them wasn't enough for the min payment. I was in a tight situation at the time, they reported those 3 months as late for all 3 cards. I went years before this paying 100% on time every month but always carrying a high balance so they never increased my limits earlier even though payment history was good. Now that my utilization is down and its been 8 months since the Capital one dings, I applied for CLI's on these cards and received letters denying the increases as they said tehse late payments are too recent. I read that a lot of people have success w/CLI's after about 6 months. I've called twice to see if they would good will any of those late payments, I was shot down immediately the first time, the 2nd time I had a nice woman but she wouldn't budge either, she politely told me she went back and looked at those statements and I was indeed not meeting the minimum payments & the only thing she could do was to mail me hard copies of those statements. I really only have 1 major collection on file thats affecting my score for a little over $1000 w/a CA that I've never heard from via phone or mail yet they are accruing charges each month. It showed up in my file late in 2014 for a card that went delinquent on about 2.5 yrs ago. I haven't decided how to handle this collection just yet, PIF right now is not an option for me so before I figure out how I want to approach this I thought I'd try to make some headway w/Capital one first on my limits andutilization. Does anyone have any recommendations? I've lowered my utilization while still using the cards frequently, just paying down more and paying on time but am getting nowhere on goodwills or CLI's and persistence is not my strong suit. Do you recoomend I wait until I have a full 12 months of on time payments before I try again? I did prequal for the QS card but am afraid if I submit, I'll only get rejected for the same "recent late payments" that they rejected my CLI requests for even though they are going on 9 months old.... Does anyone have luck w/a new Cap 1 card while not having luck w/CLI's? Should I try for another card, Anybody get accepted for Barclays card w/low 600's score? I only have 4 inquiries on my file right now. 1 is old, should drop off next month, the other 3 were recent apps for a rental property, no inquiries from credit cards in 2 yrs. Thanks in advance for any advice!!!

Now that my utilization is down and its been 8 months since the Capital one dings, I applied for CLI's on these cards and received letters denying the increases as they said tehse late payments are too recent. Once you get nine months out from the last late payment on the account (not just a reported 30, but service charge late) they will allow a CLI if your scores are high enough. I read that a lot of people have success w/CLI's after about 6 months. I've called twice to see if they would good will any of those late payments, I was shot down immediately the first time, the 2nd time I had a nice woman but she wouldn't budge either, she politely told me she went back and looked at those statements and I was indeed not meeting the minimum payments & the only thing she could do was to mail me hard copies of those statements. Yeah, Cap One is pretty strict with their reporting. I really only have 1 major collection on file thats affecting my score for a little over $1000 w/a CA that I've never heard from via phone or mail yet they are accruing charges each month. It showed up in my file late in 2014 for a card that went delinquent on about 2.5 yrs ago. I haven't decided how to handle this collection just yet, PIF right now is not an option for me so before I figure out how I want to approach this I thought I'd try to make some headway w/Capital one first on my limits andutilization. Does anyone have any recommendations? Is the OC also reporting that delinquency? If so are they showing an unpaid balance? With Cap One, they like to see heavy usage, and low reported balances. Keep requesting CLI's online until you get some joy - you just need to get far enough away from those lates. I've lowered my utilization while still using the cards frequently, just paying down more and paying on time but am getting nowhere on goodwills or CLI's and persistence is not my strong suit. Do you recoomend I wait until I have a full 12 months of on time payments before I try again? I did prequal for the QS card but am afraid if I submit, I'll only get rejected for the same "recent late payments" that they rejected my CLI requests for even though they are going on 9 months old.... Keep trying every month - use the online link for it, don't call them. Don't worry about CLI denials, they won't be held against you in any way. JUst keep plugging away and check the denial reasons. I was getting the same thing all last year until Jan when I sarted getting "score reasons", then they tripled my limits in Feb. Does anyone have luck w/a new Cap 1 card while not having luck w/CLI's? Should I try for another card, Anybody get accepted for Barclays card w/low 600's score? I only have 4 inquiries on my file right now. 1 is old, should drop off next month, the other 3 were recent apps for a rental property, no inquiries from credit cards in 2 yrs. Thanks in advance for any advice!!! Right now you would only qualify for the "average credit" level Cap One cards, and they are an auto-deny for having two or more cap one accounts already. (its stated in the disclosures), so do not app for any more Cap One cards until scores are in the high 600's - then app for the "excellent credit" cards. Since you have a long history with the cards, you might try Barclays (I was approved for Barclays with 618 TU score), but wait until your last 30 day late is over 12 months old.You're actually doing fine, just need to move out a bit from those lates that occurred last year. You might also call and get them converted to QS/QS1 reward cards.

I am glad you posted this - I'm sorry they said no, but this will help ease the perception that EO is a magic wand and you'll call them and get a CLI! Generally with Capital One it's 6 months between increases - EO or not. That's just their policy. There are exceptions but usually requesting before then is a waste of time.

Capital One Automatic 6 Month 3X CLI

So I opened a Quicksilver card on 01/01/2015 after receiving some love letters from capital one. Last one even said they would guarantee a CLI after 6 months of good behavior. Apped, and got approved for the Visa Quicksilver with a $1000 CL. Fast-forward last Monday, Cap One came through and gave me a $2000 CLI.Has anyone else experienced the same with Cap One? What was your initial limit and consequential 6 month CLI?

I had two Cap1 that I opened two years ago, the inquiries just fell off all my reports lol. Anyway I was approved for a Platinum MC at $1000 and a $500 QSMC. They were both in the credit steps, the Plat got bumped to $1500 and the QSMC got bumped to $750. In January I got a $100 CLI on the QSMC, and a couple weeks later in Jan, got a $3500 CLI on the Plat to bring it up to $4500. I chatted and got it converted to a Quicksilver MC and also closed the QSMC account (which still had an annual fee). The Platinum card, even as a Platinum card never had an AF. The 6 month mark from my last CLI is on the 29th of July and I hope to get another nice CLI. I've been using the card pretty heavy too, As my NFCU Flagship statement is about to cut I switch my daily spend to the QSMC. That way I can let the NFCU Flagship report at zero. At the beginning of the month I'll pay off the Cap1 card to zero and switch by back to Flagship card. I figure the extra spending on it will make Cap1 happy and give me another nice CLI Oz

Capital one Cli after 3 month mark

Congrats

Capital One Suddenly Generous with CLIs

A few week back I used the 'luv' button to request a CLI for my QuickSilver One Mastercard (which I will likely close if they don't help out with the annual fee - but that's in a different thread) and was pleasantly surprised when they gave it a $1000 increase - more than 50% of the previous limit. I have a QuickSilver Visa Signature I intend to replace it with that has a SL of $5K. Just a few days ago, the 4th statement was generated so I figured what the heck, let's hit the button and see what happens on the Visa, not expecting much especially since I had such good luck just a few days ago with the other card. I was immediately offered a $2K increase, making the new CL $7K I know there's been reports of folks getting Venture cards with nice SLs, but this post is regarding CLIs on existing accounts. My poor MasterCard with them struggled for years to even get a $200 increase, much less an increase in the thousands. Are they finally realizing they have been leaving money on the table by forcing customers to other banks, or do you think this is just a 'fluke'? I'm not one to question good luck, but I figure I'm among friends here, so I'm reaching out to see what you think.

I'm not one to question good luck, but I figure I'm among friends here, so I'm reaching out to see what you think. I'm curious to hear what others think as well. I have a Cap One QS1, and I have been absolutely battling them for an adult level of credit for months. It started at $300 in July 2014 - I was subprime, for sure - and completed credit steps. I had used just about the full $300 and PIF every month. Got a measely $200 increase to $500 in January, but i didn't complain. Few months later, I tried an CLI, denied. Was told there had been a change in the account. Of course, they were referring to the $200 increase. So, I let it go, and apped for other cards. Well...no one gave me a limit under $1500, and that was Discover (who is conservative, anyways). My next lowest was $3500. Ringed back Capital One and, long story short, had to escalate all the way to the EO to get the card *up to* $1,000. So basically, because Cap One is being stingy, they are still viewing me - and lending credit to me - as if I'm subprime. Wee bit irritating. I had explained to them that though the QS1 gave me 1.5% cash back, the annual fee and $1000 limit hampered use for me; my NFCU cashRewards is the same reward structure, but with no annual fee, an $8,000 limit and even a lower interest rate. No dice. Heck, even my Merrick Bank still has a higher limit. Embarrassing. I'm planning to hammer my QS1 with charges for 2-3 more months - paying down a couple times a month - and see if they get the message. If I can't get a bump after that, it's definitely a candidate for closure, since it's only 1 year old.Littlewing, have you checked out the pre-qualification site yet to see what they show you good for? I was equally disgusted four months ago due to dealing with the same type stuff you describe (before these latest CLIs, my last one was for only $200). I'm with you, it seems easier to just re-app for another card, in my case it was another QuickSilver (but the Visa Sig instead) with no annual fee and a starting line more than double the credit line on the old account, which has taken me eight years to even get as high as it is now. (This much is certainly well-documented) See what they show you pre-qual'd for, and if you like what you see it might be worth your sanity to bite the bullet and take the HPs just to be done with it. For me, "protecting" my report from HPs is not worth as much as the piece of mind I have now knowing I don't have to call and "beg" each year for them to throw me a bone for the annual fee on the new account, and if I choose to do so for the old QS1 MasterCard it's not because I have to. Many folks don't mind sending email to CEOs, waiting for call-backs that may or may not come, or calling a list of backdoor numbers, but I think I've decided I've grown tired of feeling likeI am always begging them to do business with me, either by waiving an AF or giving me a (until recently) $200 increase. Ironically, going by their willingness to approve the QS Visa a few months back, it seems it's not me they have an issue with but strangely it's the account itself. It's too bad they don't realize it's the same person behind *both* accounts, but they don't... we're just numbers. If the nice CLIs on the QS1 Mastercard had come a little earlier, this could have been a very different conversation.Yeah, I'm very seriously considering that. I try to time my apps so that everything in on a June/July and December/January cycle for increases. SO...I may be getting myself a Christmas Venture One app, haha.LOL... I like that plan. Here's an idea; even if you aren't ready to actually app for a new account, the pre-qual site will at least tell you which cards you are good for and what the interest rate will be. That's actually what pushed me into 'taking the plunge'; once I saw that I wouldn't get the highest rate as I had feared would be the case (they gave me a not-great-but-not-horrible 17.9%) it made me pull the trigger. As a side-note, the interest rate offered on the pre-qual was spot-on with what I was actually given on my new account. If the rate is higher than you would like, or you don't get offered that Venture, you can always try back later. Or if you get pre-qual'd for a fantastic rate, you can still wait and know you have something to look forward to. Even more importantly, you'll know that all the calling and emailing for the account you presently have is because you want to, not because you are forced to... Whatever you decide, you have to do what's right for your situation and your personal plan.

Capital One VentureOne Approval and QS CLI

Hey folks, So today marks my 4th months since opening my Quicksilver card so I decicded what the heck and went ahead and hit the CLi button wasnt expecting anything seeing on how discover keeps denying me CLI's but to my surpise i got a $1k increase. Bringning me up to $4,000! That was my highest limit card for a total of 6 hours. I got greedy and I decided to check Capital One's preaproval site and I saw I was Pre-qualified for a venture and venture one. Applied for the VentureOne cause I wouldn't spend enough to justify the annual fee on the venture. And bam approved for $5,000. Also, to top it off, its my first Visa Signature! Think I finally broke the $5,000 glass ceiling for me.

Rebuilding with CLI - Capital One Consolidation and PC

Started rebuilding my credit in January after opening a Cap1 Platinum Mastercard (SL $300, now $1300) and Discover It Secured Card ($500, hopefully upgrades to an unsecured card in Jan 2016). Applied and was approved for the Cap1 Quicksilver One Card (SL $500, now $1500) in April. Requested a credit line increase for both Cap1 cards in early July and was approved. Received an additional CLI today for my mastercard as part of credit steps. My QS1 receives an automatic increase in 3 more months. July was a great month! Was also approved for Bloomingdales ($800) and Nordstrom ($300). Feeling great about my rebuilding journey in only 7 months. Can't wait to consolidate both my Cap1 cards after my QS1 hits 6 months. By then, I should have over a $3000 total limit for Cap1. I've read that their Venture One must have at least a limit of $3000. After consolidation, will it possible to PC to their Venture One?

Not sure how true it is that you must have $3k for a venture one. But the PC should be possible.It's absoutely true. VentureOne has a minimum 3k limit, and Venture has a minimum 5k. Read the "How do you determine my credit line?" section on the application. it's under Rates and Disclosures. http://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/ventureone/I knew about the Venture having $5k minimum as it's a Visa Sig. But I didn't know about the VentureOne having $3k minimum. You learn something new every day.

Another Capital One CLI! !!This time an increase of 4K!

Background: I opened my Capital One Quicksilver One card in February of this year with a SL of $500 and requested an increase in April. I was automatically approved for a $1,000 increase. Fast foward to last Saturday night (7/11/15) I decided to try for another CLI because I was nearly maxing out every month on my $1,500 credit line. I needed the ability to make more purchases as well as keep my utilization down. I applied online and received the 2 -3 business day notice. So Monday (7/13) I e-mailed the EO stating my request, my desired increase ($4,000), and reasoning for that desired increase. Yesterday (7/15) I received a call from a very nice woman from the executive office. She asked me a few questions, verified some information, and told me she would be sending my request to the underwriters. She said I would hear something back in 7-10 business days. This morning (7/16) I logged into my account and my credit limit is now $5,500! I am beyond happy with the quality of customer service and the quick turnaround. I'm also enrolled in the credit steps program. I am due for an automatic incease after my 5th payment. I just made my 5th payment a few days ago and my statement closes tomorrow! I'm curious to see if I'll get that increase as well. I would assume yes, but I'll have to wait and see. Extra info: I pay my high balances down every month leaving about 1 to 2% utilization reporting on my card.In my EO letter I mentioned that a $5,500 credit limit would match my Discover It credit line (just started reporting)UPDATE My 6th statement closed yesterday (7/17). When I logged in today (7/18) I saw another $500 increase due to my Credit Steps enrollment! Woohoo! Hello 6k credit line! I love you Capital One!

Capital One Platinum CLI Question

I have received a Capital One Platinum Mastercard back in August.
Tomorrow is my 5th statement being cut but I keep reading about steps increases every 6 months.
I never got a letter or email about being in the steps program.
If I'm not in steps what am I looking at for a possible CLI and when?
Thanks in advanced.

His response: "Vadin10:40 AMSure, you can certainly check with us or in our department before you proceed. If you need any assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us Vadin10:40 AMI appreciate your time and patience. Is there anything else I can help you with today?" Well that chat failed miserably

Capital One EO CLI!!!

So I recently got my Cap One QS card with a $500 limit. Initially upon opening I had to send verification of address and SSN. Well I was approved with pretty much bad credit including bk7 from 2010 and other silly collections. So after about a month I requested a CLI with EO office and no sucess and was told to try back in a few months I am in the credit step program. So I tried again online last week and they said they will review so I immediatley called the EO office and was told that it was denied because of too many inquiries...and all the other negative things. But I told the woman the form online said they tried to contact me I guess I had an alert. So I was advised to take the fraud alert off my report which I called and did and called them back for a manual review. After three days I went online and seen they had a request for proof of income verification I had put $126k. I sent paystubs from one job, a letter from the other and bank statment showing total deposits...blah blah blah.... soooooooo just a minute ago I decided to double check my cap one account and I was hoping I'd fall out of my chair since I felt like chances were good since they requested additional information. AND GUESS WHAT!!!! BAM $ 1500. LOL it may not seem like much to some but it sure was for me since that card was over limit (dont ask or judge). So I am super excited now! and thats my story lol.

Thing is majority of the people skip the CSR and go right to the EO. The reason we shame it is because the executive office is for serious matters such as identity theft, wrong credit reporting information, fraud charges or account closure issues. It's not for getting a $500 on a platinum card. Ever notice the majority of people using EO is for a ridiculous CLI of no more than $1-2k? This is going to lead to the EO shutting down numbers and emails for people who actually need it. I think of it like this. Would you skip over your manager and their manager and go straight to your CEO to ask for a raise? Probably hell no.Yes, I understand the point being made, however, consider the following: - myFICO is a small sample size of the MILLIONS of people who have access to the EO. We often convince ourselves on this forum that we're evidence of trends - but we're not. Reason being is...- we're also self-selecting. These is a particularly aggressive, educated group of consumers - not Joe Blow. Half the CSRs don't know what strategies are commonplace here.- you very well may also be hearing about the CLI contact more often than its actual frequency as compared to other issues (highly likely, in fact)- if the EO truly had no interest in ever dealing with CLI...they just wouldn't. The precedent for credo card companies telling us to shove off is pretty tangible. Just try try to keep in mind - as I've said on other topics - the world of credit is almost entirely YMMV. Seems very arrogant to me that some myFICO forum folks have decided they know all the "rules," when the rules in most cases are just unwritten policies that change as the wind blows. The EO email and number is not publicly available. Is it on their Cap 1 site under contact us? No. When you Google "Capital One Executive Office" this site is the first hit. This site is also linked in FlyerTalk Forums and Reddit. These sites can reach globally. So please, see the bigger picture than the same 10 people who post in threads. And this site is notorious for assisting in getting things stopped or shut down. The Duck card, the Discover CLI, the Cap 1 EO and a few others. I know people won't stop using it for a useless CLI on a card but that means I can't stop posting my distaste for it. I'm not going to argue with you. You're entitled to your opinion - regardess of if I agree or not - but I'm just trying to point out the other side. This is a great site for information, and you're right: it's very informative and influences are fair number of people. However, your very argument is ironically a precise example of what I'm saying: you think what happens on this site is exclusively responsible for those issues. Seems arrogant to me. Agree to disagreePlease read again. I said this site assists. I did not say "exclusively" as you suggested. If you're going to make an argument, don't falsify what I say when it's in plain text.

Capital One low CLI, options and questions...

I opened my first credit card in January 2011. It was an Orchard Bank MC that was later sold and converted to a Capital One Platinum MC. A few years later (not sure) it was converted to the QS MC. Since I opened this account I have never missed a payment or had any negatives on my report. I got my last CLI 6 months and a few days ago. Because I have open 6 new credit cards in the past 2-7 months and meeting spend requirements I haven't been using the card much at all. I created a spreadsheet to calulate when I could request another CLI. 180 days after my last. On day 180 I requested one and was declined because of low payments. The card had a ~$500 balance a couple months ago that I paid off so the reason didn't make sense. I figured the reason was lack of recent usage. So for the past few days I have been using the card and requesting daily. Today it finally approved me for $400 to bring my limit to $3900. I was really hoping for at least $1500 so it could be a WMC as I have a VisaSig. The increase and limit bothers me as its my oldest revolving account.
I have the following cards...
1/11 C1 QS $3900
2/13 BoA BBR MC $5000 (BBR can't be WMC they say)
1/15 C1 QS $3500
1/15 Barclay Rewards $1000
2/15 AMEX ED $9000
3/15 Chase Freedom $4500
4/15 Citi DiamPref $1500
5/15 Disc It Secured $500 (really secured but wanted the card, best card I got IMO)
5/15 BoA 123 VisaSig $5000
Also to note...
12/14 Mortgage $59k/$64k (double+ pmts)
4/15 Shared Secured Installment 352/500 (to max mix)
2/15 Victoria Secret 0/500 (big regret)
FICO08 EQ 680 TU 700 EX 698
My question is was it a mistake to accept the low CLI now? Should of just contacted the EO for a manual review? Can I still do that or will I just get the line you got a CLI a day ago and gotta wait? Would they possible let me combine my 2 capital one cards ($3900 and $3500) into one card if they won't give me an addition $1100 increase for a WMC? I've had contact with the EO before and got the number; better to email or just call?
Sorry if this scramble, unorganized, grammar, etc as this is the 3rd time I've written it as the page times out and I lost it.
So to recap my questions...
Does me accepting the low $400 CLI to $3900 today prevent the EO from possibly giving me a higher CLI?
Can you combine your limits on 2 cards into one? Would combine the newer card to the older one to keep my oldest CC open.
Any experiences you had with similar issues.
Thanks in advance for your time and responses.

As I've experience with capital one (capital one platinum) is that they DON'T give out many credit limit increases. I had my crapital one card since '09 and started when I was in rebuilder mode. Flash froward to present day and you can look at my siggy that I've come pretty far. High 700's and major credit cards in my wallet with some in the 10k plus and crapital one only gave me two CLI during my '09 to July 2015 loyalty to them. I felt I was capped at 2k after numerous emails to the EO. Don't sweat capital one and just use them for the history while you get better cards imho

Capital One CLI!

So I was getting pretty peeved with Capital One this week. My statement cut on the 6th, which marked one year of having my QS1 card. I pressed the luv button, and... nothing. Tried several times a day for days... nothing. Finally, this morning, I hit it to the tune of a $500 increase. I'll take it! And I'm taking note that my date is the 10th for this card lol. Now if only they would let me upgrade to the QS with no AF. Got shot down in chat today Although, once I pay off my balance, I can combine it with my other QS, so I guess it doesn't matter as much.

Congrats

Capital One CLI (pitiful)

I got my first ever Capital One CLI today (well, the first without contacting EO). Wait for it..........$200 increase. From $2,000 to $2,200. Now Discover only beats them by $20,900! Geeezz.

Funny how discover which usually gives low limits gave you 20K but Cap One is usually handing $$$ by the stacks gave you such a small limit and CLI. I couldnt get my QS up for a long time but all the new cards I got had decent limits. Discover initially approved me for $5,500 last November. It's just grown with all this 17 day stuff, the last few being $4k at a time. But still, I wish some of the others would at least try to catch up. Amex included!Those of us with 2k Discover cards don't really feel sorry for you. Sorry TRC_WA! I wasn't trying to be insensitive. Some things just don't make sense.

For month I cannot connect to the Capital One online account services

Whenever I try to connect to the online services of Capital One in the uk, I get a note "We're sorry, Online Account Services is currently unavailable. I called Capital One and was told: now problem just use the Internet Explorer. But I prefer the Firefox. What can I do.
