you're good breh. 790-820 is all viewed the same. it will probably go up to 800 once you pay off that last bit of student loans.

was there a hard inquiry when you applied for the CC?

ok then it's b/c the average age of your accounts went down. the avg age of your credit history accounts for 15% of your fico score. the older your credit the better. so when you open a new card it lowers the overall age of your credit accounts and negatively affects your score for the short term. ex: if you have a credit card that's 8 years old and you open a new card today, then your AAoA (Average Age of Accounts) = 4 years. (8 divided by 2)

How does this happen?

I'll try to keep it simple. I've been on paypal/ebay for over 8 years. Monthly revenue was roughly $15,000. I recently came into a new opportunity that saw my monthly sales jump to 70k in less than a month. That raised a red flag at paypal and they locked my account. The told me to send in invoices which I did. After 2 days, they decided to lock my account permanently. Keep in mind that I had over 10,000 feedback on eBay with not one negative mark.They said my business was unsustainable and they wanted to part ways. Fair enough. The problem was that I still had over 60 orders to fulfill on eBay and most of the money received had already been invested back in the business since I didn't think paypal would lock it forever based on my perfect account history. I only had enough cash/merchandise on hand to fulfill around 5k of the orders so I just decided to refund everyone's order and let paypal take the hit. Between my paypal loan and all the refunds, my paypal account is negative 31k:sadcam: I'm not paying it since my credit was already in the shytter after my divorce and if it goes to court, I'll file chapter 7. The shyt really sucks because I was not doing anything illegal and even all my customers were happy. They just felt the business was unsustainable due to the volume and closed it without asking me for any other info.

paypal is the WOAT when it comes to shyt like that.

Hell, I remember one time I had a transfer of something like 3k from the UK, they held it for a week and called me 4 times to verify I wasn't "using it for terrorism".

They really either hold it to collect interest on it or simply freeze your account and steal it.

Agreed breh. Most importantly of not for yourself then for your kids so that they won't fall into the same trap that many other black children face once they get of age

I actually put my little brother (18) and little sister (15) as authorized users on my Discover card. Only traffic on that card is Netflix and Hulu. They'll thank me later :jawalrus:
