lisak72 Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 When you are applying for a credit card online (dial-up with only one phone line)...can you enter a cell number so they call it to verify? I just pulled my EQ FICO and with nothing in dispute, its 594. Figuring if I go to get the Union plus with some stuff IN dispute, that should raise it considerably. BUT...don't want to miss that phone call by being online!!!! thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisflomi Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 I think someone over in the big hh post w/5 pages said they used their cell and it came through. It was a few days back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisflomi Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 It might not have been that big one, but I know it was a hhbk post over in the same area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisflomi Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 If it were any other creditor I would say use the home phone. HHBK does not seem to be the normal type of creditor and does things half backwords. Its prob why you can use a cell phone with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisak72 Posted June 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 I have to wait to see what my FICO score with EQ does with disputes on it...see if it goes up high enough to bother. Did the simulator on CreditWatch and it said if I get approved for the "Target" card or ANY open line of credit it will shoot my score up to about 660+!!!! Gotta get me one of those!!! Basically I have NO DEBT showing...NO OPEN accounts showing and just some past stuff that's neg, along with a couple positives....all closed and $0 balances. Somebody's gotta approve me for something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisak72 Posted June 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 So hey...somebody had mentioned that Union Plus came back and needed more info that they sent out...what kind of info? Do you think this was cause they couldn't verify the phone? Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisflomi Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Well, just to be safe, why not log off for a few mins, give home # and make sure. Gotta love dsl and cable modems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
