Then you just sit there praying they actually say yes.

I called them about something similar once. They told me I'd need to send over my most recent paystub and authorize a credit check first... then they'd decide on the new limit.

Here is a similar situation from a legal forum where someone had their account frozen...

Rebecca Jones3 said:Hey there,
So, I’ve been paying down this loan at Chase for about 36 months now—never missed a beat.
Now, I’m looking to pull an extra $5,000 out of my equity. My goal is to restructure the whole thing: basically have them cut me a check for the $5k and then stretch out the term on the entire balance so my monthly payments drop. Is that even a thing people do? Does the bank force you to close out the old loan and just start a brand new one from scratch, or is there a smoother way to handle it? Just for context, I’ve got a solid, permanent job and my income is well above average. Any insight would be appreciated.

PS.
And please, spare me the "if you make that much money, why do you even need a loan?" crowd. I don't care. Just answer the question.

I'll offer some different advice 😁 Have you tried asking at the bank directly?

Every situation is unique depending on the client (income, credit score, etc.)...
I actually tried to do the exact same thing with Wells Fargo, but they turned me down. I ended up getting it done at a different bank instead—moved my business over there and secured a loan that restructured my old debt plus gave me some extra cash on the side.

Generally, though, I think it requires a complete restructuring because the terms won't match the original deal... interest rates, monthly amounts, the years...

My kid got a PC for his birthday, but there's no graphics card included...

CPU AMD A6-7400K
RAM 8GB DDR3 @ 798MHz
Motherboard: MSI A68HM-P33 V2
Power supply: Not sure exactly, but it's 550W

Since Christmas is coming up, he's asking for a GPU. Money is a bit tight right now, so I was wondering what new one
would work for some games (FIFA 15,16) within the budget of $267
I know it's not much money, but I wonder if anything can be found... It doesn't matter if the games don't run
on max settings, since he's just using a 22" monitor
I don't know much about this stuff, so would any of these work?

MSI GeForce GT730 4GB DDR3 - $200
NVIDIA GeForce GT 730, PCI-E 2.0, 2048 MB GDDR5 - $193
XFX R7 360 2GB DDR5 - $267
XFX R7 HD 250 2GB DDR3 - $233
Asus R7250-2GD5 - $233

Or maybe something used... though I prefer buying new just to have the warranty...

Thanks...

You could always opt for a package from $22 that bundles everything together—online banking fees, account maintenance, all that... plus you get unlimited transactions without any extra charges

Right now, I'm working with an old HP running an Intel Celeron with 2 GB of DDR2 and an Nvidia GeForce GT 610. The PC is about ten years old, though the graphics card was added four years ago, and unfortunately, everything is crawling... YouTube and even most basic websites are just incredibly slow and laggy.
I don't need a gaming rig since I still have my PlayStation, so I'm wondering if a machine like this—or something similar for under $110—would be able to handle web browsing and YouTube videos smoothly...

Looking for some advice here. Is this PC worth grabbing for my kid? I'm on a pretty tight budget, and space is an issue—I need something small enough to sit right on the desk under the monitor... just wondering if it can handle

Dell Latitude
Intel Core 2 Duo 3.00 GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR3
HDD: 250GB

Does anyone know if I can end my stay at the end of the fifth month? It feels wasteful paying for a sixth month $67 plus meal costs near $33 just for those last few days of school, since they wrap up on June 10th...

I'd suggest going with this one instead... it's a newer card and barely pulls 30W:

Manufacturer specs regarding required power supply wattage are almost always exaggerated on every site out there...

but I really need a low profile model... and I don't think this one qualifies...

I need to get a graphics card installed in an HP Compaq 7800 SFF for the kids. It's running an Intel Celeron 1.6 GHz with 2GB of RAM and a 250W power supply. I'm strictly looking at low-profile cards because of the case size, and price is obviously a factor. I found these two options, but I'm really worried about the power supply... especially since the Asus specs say...
Power Consumption reaches up to 75W... no extra PCIe power cables needed.
Regarding the Palit card... the minimum recommended system power is 300 W...

Which of those two cards would be the better fit...

The specifications for the Palit card... listed here. It seems straightforward enough... provided the power supply meets the requirements.

Checking out the official specs on the Asus site... just trying to get a clear picture of what we're dealing with here...
