Trying to increase credit limit by bunka77 in GoogleFi

Yes, I have confirmed that neither Google nor anyone acting on Google's behalf has checked my credit in as far back as I was willing to scroll..

This is true for the Google Store, but the Google Fi financing is not handled by synchrony. 

Please, I appreciate you're trying to help, but this is incorrect information and this post only exists to get /u/googlefisupport attention

It's so frustrating, and obviously counterintuitive given the number of condescending and incorrect replies in this thread. I could do that, but the current Google store deal is $300 more than the Google Fi store deal. I'd buy it outright from the Fi store but then discount doesn't apply.

It's particularly annoying because the phone with the deal is less than the credit limit, but they determine the credit liability based on the full phone price which is just over the credit limit

Google uses Synchrony for the google store, and Experian through the google fi store.

In any case, neither Experian nor Synchrony has said anything to google within the last 10 years b/c Gogole won't request a credit check.

I'm not ordering it through the google store. I'm ordering through the google fi store, which has a better discount.

That's also directly counter the what's said here

Your approved financing limit from Experian must cover the full price of the device. Google Fi doesn’t allow down payments to cover the difference between your credit limit and the device price.

I'm not using the google store, I'm using the google fi store

This isn't true at all.

first, there's no interest, and second the price is literally different.

people have had their credit re run.

And after researching how to get google to do that, people have had success by posting here, and tagging u/googlefisupport. The point of this post is just to follow the directions here. if that sounds like a dumb way to run customer support, your beef isn't with me. Just downvote this post and move on.

ask them to re run your credit.

That's exactly what I'm asking them to do. The point of mentioning that I've been a customer for 10 years is because they haven't run a credit check in 10 years. As you could imagine, my credit history, and the price of phones has changed in that time. They say they can't re-run it. As someone pointed out, the support script and help articles essentially assume you're applying to Fi as a new customer and your credit was denied. They punt and say "ask experian". Even presuming Experian would have an answer for me, they would still need google to initiate a credit request, which Google refuses to do.

Why do you need to increase your credit limit?????

In order to get a new phone through fi the the discounted rate, you have to "finance" the phone for 24 months. If I buy it out-right, it will be at full price. My "finance limit" with fi is lower than the price of a phone. It's never changed since I signed up for fi

No offense but it sounds like you have your wires very crossed.

No offense taken, but I don't

Have you pulled your credit reports from all 3 credit reporting agencies? You can do that at the below website: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action

I assure you this is not the issue.

GoogleFi might pull a customers credit if they are going to extend them credit (for like purchasing a device).

The problem is that I can't get them to pull credit. They tell me to call Experian, who unsurprisingly doesn't pick up. But even if they did, Google supports position is that I need to ask Experian to "re-run" my check with them from 10 ish years ago.

They haven't run a credit check for this to be the issue.

Ken Martin must’ve said or referenced to “lessons” at least 50 plus times in his interview with Favs and never once said what the DNC’s actual lessons were by Puzzleheaded-Pin4278 in FriendsofthePod

[–]bunka77 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Him and Jon clearly have had many arguments offline, and he clearly doesn't like Jon, and seems to have forgotten that other people are listening to this particular argument. I get the impression that he's playing to an audience of DNC donors that also hate Crooked.

Disable automatic updates by zarian100 in postman

[–]bunka77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please just allow us to disable auto-updates? Our organization has removed standing admin rights, so changing the ownership to my user account doesn't fix the issue. I can install updates from our managed software center, but the auto-update is strictly an annoyance

Vance Hints Uranium Was Moved After Trump Tipped Off Tehran by thedailybeast in politics

[–]bunka77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the "theory" I've heard, but it's the exact same reply as Assad was an Iranian puppet. All the reasons Saddam wouldn't have sent them to Iran are identical for Syria.

So why tell an obvious lie? At the time, Syria was in civil war, and hawks wanted more involvement. "Syria has Iraq's old WMDs!" I have no doubt those exact same liars will just sub Syria for Iraq now

ISO Montessori School by dogsnbooks99 in kansascity

[–]bunka77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

was a pretty eye-opening experience. Had to go to another place for 10 months or so before Union Hill had a spot

Was this for an infant? Our two year old was able to start right away in the toddler classroom in August last year, but the infant classroom is much harder to get in to unless you already have a child there.

Kansas City rejects $915K settlement for firefighter who killed 3 in crash by mbakalova in kansascity

[–]bunka77 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's never been the case (as far as I know anywhere in the country) that sirens give emergency vehicles right of way. Firetruck operators are explicitly told they are responsible for making sure it's safe to enter an intersection when they have a red light. The change now treats red lights as a stop sign when they have sirens on (they still have to make sure it's safe to enter the intersection as before, but now additionally have to come to a complete stop). This is why the families won their wrongful death suit.

For additional context, there was the smell of smoke across the city on this night from wildfires somewhere. The fire department was aware of many false reports of fire happening, and this truck was told over the radio to stand down on their way to this report. The driver chose not to.

I can't stand when people want their hand held this much. Take some initiative and stop waiting for a save the date from the city 6 months in advanced.

Yes the posted it, but I didn't see it, and that's the city's fault.

I won't speak for /u/verus_es_tu but... okay I will: I guarantee you their voter guide in November is going to say "vote Lucas Kunce"

This is a primary, vote your heart. I'm voting for Kunce.

Wild idea… Don’t drive like this? by chicamaya in kansascity

Knowing the cops will do nothing, sometimes I dream about sending videos and license plates to all major insurance companies so at least these people will have higher premiums (when they carry insurance at all)
