    Re: Business Credit Comparison

    Let's list all the creditors we have business accounts with and state if we have a personal guarantee on each account. Maybe we can help each other with places to go establish other business credit?

    1) American Express Platinum Business Card with PG opened 03/2004

    2) Staples without PG opened 03/2004 ($750.00 limit)

    3) Federal Express without PG billing to credit card opened 06/2004

    4) ELEASE (startupleasing.com) with PG opened 05/2004

    5) Office Depot without PG opened 06/2004 ($250.00 limit)

    Re: Experian Business Fax

    If you want to get a copy of your Experian Business Report free of charge (if you have been denied credit) then on your company letterhead write a letter to Experian making this request. Make sure to state who denied you credit.

    You can fax your request to: (714) 830-2903

    I have a biz charge card, credit card and capital line. None of them report. I have contacted Amex many times and the last time a CSR told me they don't report.

    Re: Duns Report

    I pulled a copy of my Dun and Bradstreet report today through their e-update to see my brand new Office Depot card is reporting to my Duns Report.

    I was happy to see this but a little confused because Citibank told me I would have to wait six months for my Staples account to report. My Staples and American Express are still not reporting. Both of which were opened in March of this year. Only five months ago. I just faxed a letter to American Express asking for their assistance in reporting of my Platinum Charge Card to my Duns Report.

    My Office Depot was just opened last month! I also just requested a copy of my Experian Business Report. I should have this in a week.

    Re: Duns Report

    For some reason my Staples is reporting after just the first payment on DnB... I was told it would take longer also. they report the high credit and don't list who the creditor is. I had also gotten Office Depot aproved last month but it was only a $250 limit and I havent even been billed for the one purchase made yet... So it must be the Staples. Already been declined for Shell and Lowes commercial.

    Ok! So I was curious. I asked Home Depot for a $7,500.00 credit limit. I was automatically approved but was sooo darn curious how much they approved me for. I called them today to find out they approved me for the full amount requested. I also applied for the Commercial net account from Home Depot. I got a call from them today stating they would be happy to approve the second account but only if I was willing to share the credit limit between the two accounts. I told them no thank you.

    I called Shell asking my application to be reconsidered. This application was on file since June. Since then my Experian Business report shows three accounts and my D&B shows two. You would think they would give me something? Yeah right! Declined the reconsideration. Funny how Citibank issues credit for both Home Depot and Shell.

    Dell told me my credit limit on my business credit card will be determined when I make my first purchase.

    I have had my Staples account six months now so I called Customer Service today requesting a limit increase. My credit limit was $750.00 whereas was increased to $1500.00.

    I am waiting on a response from Kinkos, Lowes, and Exxon. All business accounts.

    I think I am doing pretty well with my business credit.

    I got a telephone call from KINKOS today asking me a few questions regarding my application. She told me I was approved for a $500 limit. After I made my first purchase and payment in full my limit would automatically increase. WooHoo! :)

    All of my new business credit was approved withOUT any PG's!
