FYI, there have been no recent reports of success with Chase more than 2 cards in 30 days. I'll link to Clear thinker's solution of calling to recon after 10 days or so, having denial for same reason but no new pull, then call on day 31 and use same original pull and get approved.

I tried that and they never resent the letter. However, when I called on day 31 the rep never mentioned my previous 6-7 calls and said "oh, you want a second recon?" And he did. I was approved! Maybe just got the right rep. As always, YMMV.

Misplaced my letter on the original denial, so couldn't check EX, but Never got a notification of new inquiry from Credit sesame (though they did report the new account, so that's a good sign!) And only 1 inquiry from the original app date

https://www.annualcreditreport.com/
Free once a year for all 3 bureaus.



Once you get the experian one you can go to experian.com/viewreport,and as long as you go less than 90 days later you can constantly pull an updated version.
You just need the report number from the original report. Save it as pdf so you have it

Oh now I think I get the hack. But I'd still need my most recent report #. I'll try, though. TY.

I think the chap is that the report stays live in their system for 90 days so it can be refreshed. I could be wrong.

Reported to credit bureau you mean? If so, then yes. DROPR.  Minimum reporting time is if not paid 30 days after due date.
Tnx

The current EX trial with FICO doesnt provide a report number.  It could be if you initiate a dispute you can get one.

Wait - so this lets you pull/refresh it on EX's website all the time if its within 90 days of the annualcreditreport? Does this go forever?
