SecretAgentWoman Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Just curious. I have one secured with Orchard, about to raise my limit with more secured money, and I have a signiture loan with my bank (but I am dissapointed -looks like they only report to Experian). My scores are really still low, but I need more push for a mortgage application in Feb/March 2008.I was thinking of a really small gas card, or store card, but I wanted almost a sure thing that they would give it to me so I don't get an inquiry for nothing.Is this a pie in the sky, or do you know of such a place?

TheRoadBack Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 crown jewelers, you should be approved and there is no credit pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretAgentWoman Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 You say no credit pull, but do they report to the big 3?(It's not a bad idea, my daughter's sweet 16 is coming up and I wanted to get her a birthstone ring.)

I hate EXP Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 If your worried about your score as far as qualifying for a home you may want to look int www.naca.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretAgentWoman Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Thank you!I've saved that link, VERY interesting. As I have said elsewhere in this forum, I worried about getting screwed on the interest rate.Good thing is, 90% of bad stuff should come off my reports this year, the other 10% depend on PFD negotiations. Thus wanting to put the extra edge there for the positive credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate EXP Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Oh yeah also if you have any relative willing to let you piggyback on their credit that will also pull your scores up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretAgentWoman Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Well, duh! Lol - I did do searches for non-secured credit but the results were overwhelming - needle in a haystack thing. HOWEVER, a search for Crown Jewelers DID give me all I need to know. I love you guys. I'll let you know how it turns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
