Trying to get ready for home loan.. Should I apply for more credit

My plans are to apply for a home loan in January, currently I have  1 line of credit 1 cc3 installmentIs it okay to apply for more cards, I have always heard not to apply for new credit before you apply for a home loan, but I need points. The baddies are portfolio recovery 672 I am going to pay them then try to gw for deletion My mortgage scores are  TU 627EQ 595EX 653 Is the cap one a soft pull, the one you enter your info to see which card you qualify for? I understand I will lose a few points, but when the new credit card reports I may get more points? Thanks Thanks  

What's your AAOA now and how many inquiries do you have on your reports from how long ago? Not sold on getting a third card sixish months before a mortgage, LOC + CC should max out most of the score card anyway, you might get a few more points having three for reindeer games but it's not really optimal.  I'd probably solve it with a $250 secured card from SDFCU if I were going to do it personally, or go beg for an AU if you have that option.   Try to get a PFD for the collection if you can, paying and then GW could be tough.  That said with a 2010 forum registration date would've expected your scores to be higher than that, the one collection is really all you have derogatory wise?

  • What Credit Cards Should I Apply For?

    Hi there, My Ch7 was discharged 4/15/15. I have applied for a First Premier Card (approved at $700) & Target (declined) and that is it. What cards should I apply for? Trying to rebuild and not sure how to go about it. Any advice is very much appreciated. All accounts are showing as closed on credit reports except for student loans.  Transunion is 558/ Equifax is 575

    Hello, My BK7 was discharged in late March. I just applied for Express and New York & Co store cards using this link http://www.doctorofcredit.com/shopping-cart-trick-get-credit-cards-without-the-hard-pull/ This link contains a list of retail cards you can get with a SOFT PULL!! Just go to the retail site, put items in your cart, go to checkout.  If a card invitation pops up, click on it and be sure to use the same address that's on your credit report. The application only asks for the last 4 of your SS.  Since I recently moved, I entered my old address and immediately after approval called customer service to update my address and find out the credit limit.  Each account has a $250 limit. I think this  is a good way to avoid secured cards or worse yet, cards like 1st Premier and Credit One with outrageous rates.  My cards will arrive any day now! With proper usage of these accounts and my student loans reporting good payment history, I expect to receive unsecured offers in a few months. 

  • Should I apply for mortgage to see where I'm at????

    Hello, we are hoping to buy end of this year. We have been working on raising our credit score to get qualified. The builder we like in our town uses a preferred lender, we were thinking of applying now just to see if it's even possible to get a mortgage with them and/or any suggestions they may have to get qualified. The preferred lender is Pulte Mortgage. Will this hurt our credit score significantly? any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

    Right now I only have Cap One $700, Credit One $1k, Vs $350  and just got approved for Discover $1400...... I closed my Cap One last year b4 I started looking on this site.. My Vs was open May 2015, My Credit One was open for almost 2yrs ago. My curent scores are in my Sig..... Should I apply for another store card or anything to help build or just leave what I have? I've had a total of 5 Auto loan, one I'm still leasing, 2 personal loans from CU, and pay as agreed student loan...... all good accounts never late.....I have one issue on my TU but score just updated to 682 fico 8........ no issues on EQ 655 fico 8 but everything was not reported like my Bmw lease that's open now and a few others...... my Ex is frozen which is my lowest score with 2-3 issues. Any advice is appreciated!

  • How many cards should I apply for ?

    So, recently, I applied for 2 new cards ( both with capital one) and got approved for both ( credit score is 621). Currently, I have 5 inquries on my credit report, hence, I'm wondering should I apply for one additiona card? Alternatively, should I simply build my scores higher in order to get a better card in the future? Thanks!

    Sure! Experian is 621, and 602, 600 ( Trans/Eq).  Currently, I have a Wells Fargo Secured Card ( $300 Limit), which is almost 3 years old (long time for secured I know).  The two new capital one cards both have $1,000 limits.  I still have 3-4 baddies ( small amount med collections) that I will get removed within in the next 2-3 months via PFD.  Additionally, I have a judgement ($1,800), which is 6 years old reporting on both Trans/EQ. Thanks for the detailed info.  Don't apply for any more cards until the 3-4 baddies come off your report in the next 2-3 months.  Once those come off, you will see a rise in score which will make you be able to get some really good cards. For now, work on the baddies.  Congrats on the 2 CAP 1 approvals...

  • Trying to get into the app store and it asks for my password. The problem is that it is showing an Apple ID I don't use ghosted in. I can't figure out how to use my correct ID.

    Trying to get into the App Store to update some apss. It asks for my password but the problem is that it is showing ghosted an Apple ID I don't use. Can't figure out how to fix it.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • Will a 256 gig SSD be enough for caches or should i go for 500?

    I'm getting a laptop for AE which will come with a terabyte HDD. Im going to put the OS and AE on an SSD. Do you think 256 gigs will be enough or should i go for 500? How much space would be enough for caching? I dont want to get a 500GB SSD and then realize it was overkill. thanks

    Yes, you're right about the boot and application start.  
    And that's just the point for putting user files on the SSD.  SSD's are far faster at reading & writing than a hard drive... with no physical wear & tear.  And when you're reading a hundred layers of HD footage and a hundred more layers of Photoshop & Illustrator documents -- for each and every frame of your AE composition -- you stand to boost the machine's performance significantly with shorter read times multiplied by 200... to say nothing of the absence of physical wear & tear.
    You might also consider putting media files on an external hard drive.

  • What Credit Card should I Apply for? BofA or Citi

    Hello guys I would like your advice, I received a pre approved offer letter from Bank of America, for the Americard something interesting on this offer is that it has 21 billing cycles at 0% APR for Balance Transfers, after that 12.99% APR, I also have a pre approved offer letter from Citibank, for the simplicity card, 21 months at 0% APR for balance transfers, 17.99% after. What Credit Card do you think I should pull the trigger ? At first glance the APR says everything and BofA would be the best, but I would like to get some extra info from you guys. I am a Citibank customer, I have my checking and savings account with them as well as a couple of CC, in contrast I would be a new BofA customer. What do you think would be the CL if I am approved on BofA and what do you think would be the CL if I am approved on Citibank?

    I don't have experience with BT cards but just wanted to share about my personal experience with these two lenders  BofA: started out as a secured card $500 and CLI to $1,500 with HP then opened a BBR $500 auto CLI to $1,000Looking at current BT offers for these cards, there are no BT promos... They are only offering 3% BT fee and then the APR on the account (currently 15.99% for me)I haven't read around the forum about BofA allowing direct deposit into checking account and then paying off other lender's credit balances but I know Citi explicitly states they allow direct deposit (if this is a feature you would like to have) Citi: have the discontinued Dividend card $9,000 CL and double cash card $2,900 (no BT promos showing for DC because I'm still in my 0% period)I have had Dividend for a year and looking at current BT offers, there are two: one 3% BT fee and 4.99% until 7/2017 and another for 3% BT fee and 2.99% until 8/2017. Personally, I think Citi has better long-term BT offers. You mentioned you have CCs from Citi? Have you checked your current cards for BT offers? 
    In terms of limits, everyone is different but I think Citi gives higher limits without HPs for CLIs Great, thanks for sharing your experience, I had a look at my current BT offers in citibank and they are not that good the best deal is 18 months and 2.99% APR during that period of time.  I have the thank you CC 20k CL this one is my first and oldest CC, I applied for the diamond cc about 8 months ago I got only 7.6K CL so that's my fear with citi and get a little CL than the diamond, as for BofA I got no idea of the minimu I could expect, I have read the minimum is $500 which for me knowing that is not attractive to apply for it

  • Pre-Qual'ed for Amex Gold and Gold Premier, but i want Platinum. Should i apply for Platinum?

    What the title says.  The Amex pre qual site says im pre-qual'ed for Amex Gold and Gold Premier.  But i plan on doing quite a bit of traveling soon and based on that i would really prefer Platinum.  Should i try for Platinum anyway?  If i do apply for Platinum and get denied, will they do a second hard pull when i apply for Gold Premier?

  • Capital One Platinum Card...Should I apply for a Quicksilver next month also?

    Have you tried the Cap1 pre-qual site?
    https://findmycard.capitalone.com/en/PageVersions/LandingPages/LP_UNS_QUICK_RWD_V01.aspx

    If it says, "XXXX, we couldn't match your records to a card offer. But based on your answers, we think you might like this card." - - I would NOT app.
    If it gives you a preapproval on the Cap1 Quicksilver, I'd try it depending on the rest of your profile.  I opened the Platinum as a secured $200 card in January. I PIF'd every month and in June I checked the preapproval site and it prepaproved be for the Quicksilver. I applied and got $1,000 unsecured. I ran some charges and paid them right away and they gave me a $300 unsecured CLI on the Platinum card just a couple weeks later. 
    I really like the QS card so far because of the cashback.

  • Which card should i apply for?

    Hi,I have about 6500 in credit card debt with no baddies. About 55% utilization. I am thinking about applying for a card to transfer my balance over @ 0%. Scores are 660,663,666. What do you guys recommend?

What do you guys recommend?Have you requested a CLI with the current card? Who is it with? What is the current APR? Have you contacted them to see if they would lower your APR (cap1 does this frequently) in the mean time?(Balance transfers take 7 days to a month!)  Request CLI on all other cards. What other cards do you have?  Your scores are good enough for Amex ...possibly. See if they prequal you for 0 for 15months. Doubt they would give you a limit higher than 5k. you could split it between two new cards? I would say 6500 is not quite enough for a consolidation loan. What do you fellow myficoers think? Worst case scenario, your credit takes a hit for opening a new account, the new limit will lower your total UTIL, so may see it go up, but when you do the BT it will swing back a bit, but overall you could be higher than lower with scores. Transfer it all to the new card, pay it down fast, and you may be surprised at the results.  Your inquiries are high now, so you could just be forced to app for cap1. Only the qs, qs1, venture1, and prestige will offer 0% interest. Leave capital one as a last resort because they wont care about adding 1 or 2 more inquiries...Venture1 will have the higher limit most likely so do that first.
