Sometimes, the system works, and works well. (The guy NEVER saw them coming).

That's excellent
This is a good reminder to everyone that you should pull your credit once a year to check for new trade lines. Go to
www.annualcreditreport.com to do this. DON'T GO TO freecreditreport.com. It signs you up for a monthly monitoring service that they charge you for. It's very difficult to get them to stop.
