Re: Bankruptcy friendly credit cards

What seems to be the verdict on getting approved for a Walmart card after BK7? I did not include any accounts in BK that would prevent approval fyi. Thanks!

Re: Bankruptcy friendly credit cards

From what I've read on here and credit boards is that its definitely possible, but there's always the kicker "YMMV".

Re: Bankruptcy friendly credit cards

Me and my wife filed 7 in July 2012 and we were discharged Nov 2012.  Since coming out she's managed to pick up a Cap1 Card and a Bill Me Later account as well.  I'm an AU on her Cap1 card.  I've picked up a First Premier(only company that would take me) and plan on using it monthly for bills and then paying it off to show history.  Hopefully I can get a Barclays Apple in the next 6 months.

Re: Bankruptcy friendly credit cards

Any approvals out there lately? Been quiet! I am in the garden but would love to hear about other people getting approved!

nothing at all.....since my ch 7 dischange on 10/31/12 - I've got a secured card through my local CU for $500 in december of '12 - obtained a car loan for $15k through Wells Fargo last month and have been doing the 'pre-qual' page on Capital One hoping - but no dice at all.

 

I am hoping that once the car loan hits - most likely in March/April and more months with the secured card which I only car a $2 balance on all reporting - Cap One looks at me more favorably.  I'm not so convinced though....might be a loooong journey for me.  I may look at the Barclay card after a year if nothing else pops up.
