I'm planning to try again later this month when a few inquiries become over a year old and others drop off. I'll also close 3 accounts (one is from Chase) that I don't use anyway and they have annual fees (in other words, I would close them anyway, just a bit later in the year). I'm also toying with the idea of freezing experian, through Chase pulled from both experian and equifax on the last application and denial layer came with my equifax score. Will report back the results.
