Thu 18:02:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2]: Yes.
Thu 18:02:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I canceled four credit cards yesterday.
Thu 18:02:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Opened one this week.
Thu 18:02:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm pruning older ones that I don't use that much.
Thu 18:03:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I still have enough total limits that it won't meaningfully impact my utilization ratio.
Thu 18:03:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But it shows that I am actively managing/consolidating.
Thu 18:04:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's less risky to have fewer credit cards in the eyes of creditors. The ideal is to close accounts with smaller limits, less attractive benefits, or rarely used.
Thu 18:04:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That gets your number of open accounts down without impacting your utilization that much.
Thu 18:04:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, i wouldn't want to have credit cards in my eyes either
Thu 18:05:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you have four credit cards with a combined limit of $10,000 that's perceived as riskier than one credit card with a $10,000 limit, for example.
Thu 18:05:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because you'll trigger the "too many open accounts" flag even though it's the same total limit.
Thu 18:06:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's actually a FICO Negative Reason Code that goes something like "existing limits on bank cards too low".
Thu 18:06:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And that's exactly what it sounds like.
Thu 18:06:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Having lots of credit cards open with limits below about $5,000 is interpreted as a risk signal.
Thu 18:07:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So basically, getting to $50,000 available credit with 3-4 cards is better than doing the same with like 8-9 cards.

Fri 01:24:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I've already referred a few people there.
Fri 01:25:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ how do they avoid federal regulations?
Fri 01:25:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The parts of the EO that call on the NCUA and FDIC to make regulations don't apply to this one.
Fri 01:25:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's chartered under the laws of Illinois and uses private insurance for the deposits.
Fri 01:26:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: There's only like a dozen non-federal credit unions in Illinois.
Fri 01:27:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And many of them restrict membership a lot.
Fri 01:27:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But this one just requires that you live in an eligible county at the time you join, then you can refer new members who live anywhere.
Fri 01:28:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: They are somewhat regulated by the Federal Reserve, CFPB, and Treasury.
Fri 01:28:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But the FDIC and NCUA regulations don't apply.
Fri 01:28:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The only thing the EO orders the CFPB to do is advise banks that they can consider deportation risk when they extend loans.
Fri 01:28:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But it doesn't require them to, and it could get the bank sued under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act if they do.
Fri 01:29:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It tells Treasury to monitor Zelle for "potential under the table wages".
Fri 01:29:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But this credit union doesn't support Zelle.
Fri 01:29:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I told them "Just have them make out a paper check then deposit that.
Fri 01:30:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If your bank or CU supports Zelle, it reports to Early Warning Systems.
Fri 01:30:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So the banks have a ton of information about how much money you make and a lot of other stuff.
Fri 01:31:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Zelle is also the source of a lot of fraud, because it was basically cooked up to evade the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, which requires banks to reverse money that was ACH'd out of your account fraudulently.
