New Credit During Chpt 13(under 5k)

Anonymous · ‎12-06-2017

So I officially filed for a Chapter 13 and my 341 meeting is on Jan 11th...I was advised by my lawyer that in the state of VA I do "not" need trustee approval to apply for new credit that is under 5k. She said its okay to start looking for secured cards as long as it is under 5k( like I have 5k sitting around lol) so any reccomendations on any secured cards I can apply for? Thank you! Let the rebuild begin!

Btw: NFCU and Cap1 has been burned :-/

Open Sky Visa has raised my scores over 60 points in the last 30 days. They are easy to get.

I personally would try for Discover, or another lender more reputable. Dont go for FP, or Credit One...they are just predatory, and have tons of fees associated with the card. Since you didnt burn BOFA, Discover, Citi....Id would pick one or two of those.
