i have no idea what the score was. i had 31 inquiries in the past year according to the rep who snared at me and told me to stop applying lol
I had a 711, 13 inqs in the last year, 5 in last 6mo; approved for BizCashRebate. Also applied for BlueCash, but it was denied because "Consumer Credit Card accounts are not currently available to residents within the state of Iowa" Hmm. I wish I'd been informed about that before applying - and it didn't stop them from pulling two hards on EQ though. No more apps for me for at least 6mo! But, I might give them my second home address in another state, see if they can re-run it (without an inq).. any bets?.
Add P.S.: to last: P.S.: my score before dispute was 693 or so, day after was 684 (only change was instead of 2 accts late, chgd to 1 account with "unknown date" late pay); then a week later all negs were gone, score to 710; now after 2 more inqs and another week, score is 680. FICO is bizarre RNG that is irrelevant except to how much they can rip you for.
